Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded to the riots in Bnei Brak: “I strongly condemn the violent riots in Bnei Brak against IDF soldiers and Israel Police officers. This is an extremist minority that does not represent the broader haredi community. This is a grave and unacceptable matter. We will not allow anarchy, and we will not tolerate any harm to IDF service members and security forces who carry out their duties with dedication and determination."
