National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir Assigns Shin Bet to Combat Crime in Arab Sector
Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has officially announced that the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) will be tasked with fighting crime within the Arab sector. To support this initiative, a dedicated budget of approximately 500,000 shekels has been allocated. This funding is being redirected from the previous government's Program 550, also known as the "Abbas Plan," which aimed to strengthen enforcement, intelligence, and operational activities of the Shin Bet, Israel Police, and Prison Service in the Arab community. The government is expected to approve this decision, promoted by Ministers Ben-Gvir and May Golan, at the upcoming cabinet meeting on Sunday.
