None

Internal Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovich commented on the use of taser-guns, following the public outcry after a video showing five police officers using the gun during the arrest of settler became viral. "I cannot ignore the public storm. I came back from a deputation and I've seen the footage, it looks very bad," he said. Due to the affair, it was decided to freeze the use of the gun.

 

"Investigative committees have been formed. I'll not lend a hand to condemn the whole organization. Police officers are doing hard work meant to inspire personal safety," he added. (Noam Dvir)
