Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gabir today (Sunday) ordered the Commissioner of Police to conduct an investigation following the celebrations of the release of the terrorist Karim Younes, after the Minister ordered the police to act to prevent the celebrations. The Commissioner will conduct an internal investigation in the police and present it to the Minister.
The terrorist Karim Younes, who murdered the soldier Corporal Avraham Bromberg, was released last week after 40 years of imprisonment in an Israeli prison, under a series of instructions from the Security Service Minister aimed at preventing incitement celebrations and support for terrorists and terrorism.
The minister ordered the police not to allow the establishment of tents in honor of murderers and events celebrating support and sympathy for terrorism. This order was only partially carried out, but the children of Meshftahu and the terrorist’s friends set up a tent for the celebrations and the authorities of the Authority even came to visit him.
Following the events, the Minister of National Security had a conversation with the Commissioner of Police about the construction of the tent and the celebrations that took place in the village. In their conversation, the Minister ordered an internal investigation in the police to be presented to the Minister. The purpose of the investigation is to ensure that such incidents will not be repeated in the future.
The Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben Gvir said: “These celebrations are celebrations of incitement and explicit support for terrorism and it is unthinkable that such events will take place in our home. In the State of Israel there is no place for celebrations of support for terrorism and I will do everything in my power to prevent these celebrations, until the death penalty law for terrorists is passed “.
