Rivlin: 'IS has infiltrated Arab society'

Israeli President Reuven Rivlin warned during a speech he gave at a security conference on Monday that the Islamic State group has infiltrated Israeli Arab society.

"Islamic State is already here and it's no longer a secret. I'm not talking about on Israel's borders but inside the country. Whoever knows Arab society knows that over the last few years there has been vast radicalization."

Rivlin called on Arab leaders to condemn the phenomenon and on the state to take responsibility for the Arab sector in Israel and to increase law enforcement within it.
