Member of Knesset Yitzhak Kroizer of the Otzma Yehudit party will be questioned under caution on suspicion of involvement in an assault on police officers. The decision to investigate Kroizer was made on Monday. Following the announcement of the investigation, Kroizer and his party chairman, Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, strongly criticized the Attorney General, labeling the probe a "political witch hunt" and "persecution."
The investigation stems from a report that police are examining whether Kroizer and the party's Director-General, Itiel Neiman, were involved in an incident where officers were assaulted during a confrontation that left one officer injured in the nose. The incident reportedly occurred after a pursuit of a Jewish minor in the Benjamin region.
In response to the developing situation, Police Commissioner Dani Levy stated, "No one will attack police officers. It doesn't matter their status or role. We will not allow attacks on police officers and moralizing. We will reach those who attacked the officers and bring them to justice."
