Public Safety Minister Gil'ad Erdan told the Witness Protection Authority, Sunday evening, "The challenge of crime in Arab society is tremendous and it will be at the heart of the new police commissioner's job, and I am sure that it will also raise the challenges of the authority."

Speaking at a gathering to mark the authority's first anniversary, Erdan said, "The crime organizations operating in Arab society and terrorizing them must be, and will be, a central target of the Israel Police."
