Israeli President Herzog Condemns Violence in Jalud Village
Israeli President Isaac Herzog has strongly condemned the overnight riots and violence perpetrated by a group of individuals in the Palestinian village of Jalud. In a statement posted on social media platform X, Herzog described the events as a grave crime requiring the harshest punishment under existing law.
Herzog characterized the incident as a moral disgrace and a serious assault on the rule of law. He specifically denounced the arson, stone-throwing, and attacks against Israel Defense Forces soldiers and Border Police officers, emphasizing that these actions are unacceptable and have no justification, especially as the security forces were performing their duties lawfully.
The president highlighted that the incident occurred during the Sukkot holiday, stating that the radicals' actions damage the traditions of settlements in the Land of Israel and contradict fundamental values of Judaism and Israeli society.
President Herzog expressed full support for the Israeli military, police, and the entire security apparatus. He wished a speedy recovery to all those injured in the clashes and urged law enforcement to act decisively in apprehending and prosecuting the perpetrators.
