MK Ilan Gilon (Meretz), the chairman of the lobby against police violence in the Knesset, arrived at the demonstration of the Ethiopian community in Tel Aviv.
"The police have only one role - to maintain public order and protect the citizens, and they aren't doing it, the first protest that took place in 2015, and the Palmer report, which was published since then, was supposed to bring about a change, but this is not the case. We still see that the culture of whitewashing, silence, denial, and insensitivity of the police, which refuses to examine itself and its function time after time, exists, and that is why I am here. I am against violence and racism and am for equality, solidarity, and justice. "
