Former Deputy Chief of Staff MK Yair Golan (Meretz) responded on Monday evening to The Washington Post report which claimed Israel is conducting an extensive operation to establish a digital database on Palestinian Arabs living in Judea and Samaria.

Speaking in an interview with Galei Tzahal (Army Radio), Golan said, "This does not sound like news to me. Security officials in Israel have been following what has been happening in Judea and Samaria for more than 50 years. Once upon a time, the strategy was more physical, and today it is more digital. Basically, there is no change here."
