President Reuven Rivlin condemns the brutal beating of three Arab Israelis by two Jews in Haifa last week.
During a visit to the town of Kafr Kassem, Rivlin tells residents, “We are all destined — not doomed — to live here together in this country, not doomed to live like this,” he adds.
The victims — a doctor and two nurses — said the suspects asked them if they were Arab before they began attacking them.
The Haifa Magistrate’s Court on Saturday ordered that one of the suspects, a 23-year-old Jewish resident of Nesher, be placed under house arrest for the next three days.
Today, the second suspect was released to house arrest.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
