At the cabinet meeting this morning and against the backdrop of continued tensions in Israel, Prime Minister Netanyahu stressed the need to maintain law and order in both the Jewish and Arab sectors.
“When we formed the government, I asked Minister [of Public Security] Erdan and the Inspector General of the Israel Police to make a major effort to change something which has prevailed in the State of Israel for almost 70 years and this is the absence of law enforcement in the Arab sector,” said Netanyahu.
