National Security Minister Itamar repeated his intentions on Saturday evening to launch a significant operation in eastern Jerusalem to quell terrorism.
“I am determined to launch ‘Operation Defensive Sheild 2’ in Jerusalem. To those officials who are speaking against me: the police have the authority to demolish illegal houses, arrest over 150 suspected terrorists, raid houses, stop the incitement in the mosques, detain those who owe taxes, and more. The security cabinet is important, and I will request additional things there, but governance is crucially important, and I will make sure it stays that way,” Ben-Gvir wrote on social media.
Ben-Gvir intends to present his demands to the security cabinet, which will meet Sunday to discuss the reaction to the ramming attack in Jerusalem, which killed three Jews.
Ben-Gvir is expected to demand a total lockdown of the Isawiya neighborhood in Jerusalem, a demand which was denied by Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai.
Ben-Gvir retorted to those who criticized him that he has the authority for the measures he intends to request. “The intention of a Protective Shield 2 operation is not to release tanks into the streets and targeted areas, but to start enforcing the law,” he explained.
