United Torah Judaism MK Meir Porush called for an urgent session of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Security Committee to discuss what he termed the police's discriminatory enforcement policy in protests. The demand, reported by journalist Eli Hirschman on N12, follows Porush's earlier condemnation of police conduct at this morning's protest dispersal at the Geha interchange.
United Torah Judaism MK Meir Porush on Wednesday morning called for an urgent Knesset Foreign Affairs and Security Committee debate on what he described as the police's 'discriminatory enforcement policy in protests', according to a report by journalist Eli Hirschman on N12. The demand follows Porush's earlier statement hours earlier, in which he condemned police conduct during the dispersal of a protest at the Geha interchange and called on Police Commissioner Danny Levi and the officers involved to resign. Porush had compared the police's methods to those in Turkey and Iran. The prior statements were published by Hirschman at 09:45. The new demand shifts the focus from personnel accountability to committee oversight of enforcement policy. The committee has not yet announced whether it will schedule the session. No police response has been reported.
