President Isaac Herzog visited the Deir al-Asad local council in the Galilee on Tuesday evening, according to N12. During the visit, Herzog stated: 'Crime in Arab society is the most dangerous disease today — there is no future without security, and no security without partnership. The security of Arab society is an inseparable part of Israel's security.' The president's remarks underscore his focus on the issue of violence and organized crime in Arab Israeli communities, a problem that has led to dozens of homicides annually. The visit is part of Herzog's broader engagement with communities across Israel, including recent visits to border towns and rehabilitation centers, as previously reported by The Zioneer.
