Member of Knesset Yitzhak Kroizer, who chairs the Interior and Environmental Protection Committee, announced he would present himself for questioning at Lahav 433 on Sunday following an incident at Mitzpe Yericho. Kroizer claims he was subjected to excessive force by police officers, including being beaten, thrown to the ground, and pepper-sprayed. He stated this occurred after he approached to de-escalate a confrontation between police and bereaved families at the conclusion of a memorial ceremony for IDF fallen soldiers. Kroizer also alleged that his complaint against the officers involved was refused by the Police Investigations Department (Mahash). He further reported that he voluntarily went to Mahash offices early last week to file a complaint, but after nearly four hours of waiting, he was prevented from submitting it due to an "upstairs" directive. Despite appeals to the Attorney General, the State Prosecutor, and Mahash, his complaint has not yet been taken. In contrast, his summons for questioning was issued with extreme speed.
