Report: Shin Bet chief visited DC, warned of Ramadan flare-up with Palestinians
Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar returns from Washington, DC, where he met with FBI Director Christopher Wray and discussed various security challenges, Ynet reports.
According to the website, Bar warned of the possibility of a flare-up with the Palestinians during the month of Ramadan, in April.
The Muslim holy month and the Jewish holiday of Passover overlap this year, and security officials fear tensions in Jerusalem could escalate as worshipers from both faiths flood the city.
