Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu spoke at the start of the government's weekly meeting about a multi-year plan for strengthening the security of Jerusalem, improving law enforcement and boosting personal security in the Arab sector.
"In the next five years, we will build new police stations, recruit 2,600 officers and strengthen police operational capabilities," the PM said.
"We want equality in law enforcement. This equality does not exist in Jerusalem and the Arab public is paying dearly. The State of Israel is paying dearly. We want a single nation of law without enclaves in which the law is not upheld. We also want to reduce other gaps in society at large and in Israeli Arab society. We want to integrate them in all walks of like in the country – and this is what we will do. The step that we are taking today will reduce the gaps in law enforcement and personal security."
