At the top of the police, they said that there is logic in the instruction and therefore the use of machtzyots in ultra-Orthodox demonstrations and in settler demonstrations will be stopped, just as was done in the demonstrations on Balfour Street in Jerusalem a year and a half ago and in the demonstrations against the legal reform in Tel Aviv.
According to the report, the turning point for Minister Ben Gabir came yesterday, during the ultra-Orthodox demonstrations on Geula Street in Jerusalem, when the police were recorded using violence against the demonstrators.
When the local police forces were prepared to use the olive mace at that demonstration, Ben Gvir ordered the police command staff to investigate – why violence was used against the demonstrators, which ultimately led to the tool being taken out of use.
In fact, the minister received a kind of “promise” from the top of the police, that he would no longer use the tool, but only as a last resort, in a life-threatening situation.
