Netanyahu vows to eradicate Jewish violence in Judea and Samaria

Yisrael Ganz, the Governor of the Binyamin Regional Council and Chairman of the Yesha Council, has spoken out about provocateurs and terrorists exploiting the olive harvest season to incite violence in Judea and Samaria. These individuals have been targeting known hotspots to incite confrontations and fuel tensions. Ganz emphasized that these provocateurs must be stopped from operating unchecked, as they often act as the aggressors, engaging in riots and attacks on Israelis.

He warned that Israelis who resort to violence only aid their objectives, endangering innocent lives, communities, and the State of Israel.

Ganz called for the police to take responsibility in restoring order, asserting that a police force capable of dealing with organized crime should also effectively address stone-throwers and the organizers of planned disturbances at known flashpoints. These flashpoints can involve Israeli, Arab, or foreign participants. Ganz criticized the current approach of merely issuing condemnations and declaring investigations after incidents have already occurred, arguing that a more proactive stance is necessary to prevent further violence and maintain stability in the region.
