Defense Minister Israel Katz held an urgent discussion following incidents of violence against IDF soldiers by settlers, with the participation of Central Command chief Major General Avi Blot, Judea and Samaria police district commander Chief Superintendent Moshe Pinchi, and other security officials. The minister said during the discussion, "We will not allow or tolerate serious incidents of this kind. A joint body will be established led by the police and in cooperation with the IDF and Shin Bet to coordinate handling of this issue." This despite the fact that such a body already exists.
