Public Security Minister Omer Barlev responded on Monday evening to the attack on Border Police officers in Samaria.
"There is no difference between settlers who attack and injure Border Police officers in Yitzhar, and criminals who attack in Kafr Qassem. In both cases it is a crime that has developed after many years in which governance has been abandoned to marginal factors. In Yitzhar, too, we must handle the issue of people who think they are allowed to raise a hand against uniformed people," said Barlev.
