Shas MK Azoulay denounces police violence in Knesset speech

Primary source Internal intake · 2 reviewed intake signals · Desk window 13:40

TL;DR

Shas faction chairman MK Yanon Azoulay delivered a fiery speech on the Knesset floor on Wednesday, accusing police of violence against a protester and calling on Minister Ben-Gvir and Police Commissioner Danny Levi to intervene. A separate Zioneer report from minutes earlier documented his criticism of the Bnei Brak station commander.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Shas MK Yanon Azoulay on Wednesday shouted against police violence from the Knesset podium, according to a single source. Immediately before this speech — at 13:31 Jerusalem — The Zioneer reported his specific criticism of Bnei Brak station commander Deputy Superintendent Yuval Shavit, whom Azoulay accused of dragging a protester and tearing his trousers. The current message does not repeat those earlier specifics; it frames Azoulay's broader denunciation of police conduct. Azoulay called on National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Police Commissioner Danny Levi to intervene, the source says. No further details on a specific incident or any response from police were included in this message.
