Knesset Member Yitzhak Kroizer of the Otzma Yehudit party will be interrogated by Israeli police on suspicion of assaulting an officer during riots on October 1 in Mitzpe Jericho, located in Judea and Samaria. Media reports indicate that participants in the clashes allegedly opened the door of a police vehicle to free a suspect accused of violence against Palestinians. The investigation into the lawmaker was approved by the Legal Advisor to the Government, Gali Baharav-Miara, and State Prosecutor Amit Eisman, whose authorization is required to bypass parliamentary immunity. The probe has been assigned to the Lahav 433 police unit, which handles cases involving alleged crimes by high-ranking officials. Kroizer dismissed the decision as political, accusing Baharav-Miara of attempting to portray a victim as a suspect. Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir also criticized the legal advisor, citing selective law enforcement. The clashes reportedly resulted in injuries to two police officers, including a broken nose, and three suspects questioned in the case were released to house arrest.
