Police are not permitting MK Itamar Ben Gvir to hold a meeting of his office staff in his improvised office in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah (Shimon Hatzaddik). Instead, Ben Gvir held a staff meeting at the entrance to the neighborhood where a large group of Islamic activists have gathered.
According to Ben Gvir, "Since I arrived here in the Shimon Hatzaddik neighborhood, things are quieter here than ever. Perhaps there are certain members of the police force who have a vested interest in inflaming the situation."
