The Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee met for a special discussion this morning (Friday). The members passed a motion allowing the IDF to call up border guard reservists as an emergency measure in light of recent incidents in Jerusalem.
Following the measure's approval, committee head MK Tzachi Hanegbi (Likud) said, "Border guards have extensive and successful experience dealing with hostile and violent activities. Placing a border guard company in the capital will help quickly restore order."
