Israel Police chief Kobi Shabtai says that he will be leaving the country for a few days to accompany a family member to Germany where they will undergo a medical procedure.
Shabtai says that he pushed off his trip in order to take part in a discussion led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today to tackle the sharp rise in violent crime in the Arab community.
The police chief is slated to depart tomorrow and return on Thursday.
