Journalist Eli Hirschman called on National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Police Commissioner Danny Levi to immediately intervene, stop police violence, and ensure such incidents are not repeated, according to a statement reported by N12.
The call from journalist Eli Hirschman, reported by N12, escalates public pressure on Israel's police leadership and the minister overseeing it following a series of protest dispersals this week. Hirschman specifically demanded that Minister Ben-Gvir and Commissioner Levi "intervene immediately, stop the police violence - and ensure that such cases are not repeated." The appeal comes amid ongoing controversy over police tactics at demonstrations, which have drawn sharp criticism from across the political spectrum, as The Zioneer reported earlier: MK Meir Porush (UTJ) condemned the dispersal of a protest this morning as unworthy of a Jewish or democratic state, and opposition leader Yair Golan accused Ben-Gvir of encouraging violence against hostage deal protesters. Hirschman's statement adds a media figure's voice to the debate, calling for a direct intervention from the minister who has overseen a "nationwide increase in police alertness" ordered by Commissioner Levi just days ago. No specific incident was named by Hirschman, and police have not yet issued a response.
