On the back of recent Arab riots throughout Israel, we’re holding an emergency committee meeting in the Knesset to demand the collection of illegal weapons and the restoration of governance in mixed cities. The meeting is a joint initiative of Regavim and MK Amichai Chikli of the "Yemina" party.

 

During the meeting, facts, stats, and testimonies will be presented, and we’ll try to pinpoint the failures of the authorities that precipitated the violent attacks on Jewish citizens. Residents of the mixed cities will participate in the meeting, as well as local leaders, and civil organizations that worked alongside us to provide support for the Jewish communities.

 

The return to routine can’t be complete until security and governance are restored to the streets. We can’t sleep quietly until the illegal weapons – that were also directed at Jewish citizens and the security forces – are confiscated.
