The words of Chief Commissioner Daniel Levy, at a situation assessment meeting: "In recent weeks, we have witnessed a disturbing and painful increase in murders in Arab and Jewish society. Each such event of loss of life is a world in and of itself, a family that falls apart and a deep wound in the heart of all Israeli society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Israel Police, and I as its head, embrace the families of the murdered and will do everything in our power, tirelessly, to bring the despicable murderers behind bars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amidst this difficult reality, it is important to clarify and be precise: There are events that originate from organized crime, conflicts between criminal organizations, and struggles for control and power - against which we act forcefully, in a focused and systematic manner, with the clear goal of damaging and collapsing the criminal infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alongside this, unfortunately, there are also explosive, unexpected events, those that are difficult and sometimes impossible to prevent in advance, such as those tragic incidents that occurred in Petah Tikva, Beer Sheva, Hatzor HaGlilit and this morning near Zichron Yaakov, which illustrate the extent to which we are dealing with a complex and painful reality, which requires in-depth treatment, the integration of arms and the involvement of all educational, treatment, prevention and legal entities, including government ministries, which is their entire purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is important to say clearly and directly: The Israel Police has been operating for a long time in an intense and ongoing struggle against violence and crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are operating in a state of ongoing emergency, in all arenas, with all tools, and in cooperation with all relevant parties. This is a complex, deep, and multidimensional struggle, one that is not measured only in days or weeks, but in long-term processes. Unfortunately, its results cannot always be seen immediately, but we have no doubt that perseverance, determination, and investment will lead to significant results on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Israel Police will not let up. We will continue to act with determination, in coordination, with responsibility and professionalism, to restore the sense of security to every citizen, everywhere, and in every sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I will continue to maintain ongoing, personal and close monitoring of the status of the murder cases, receive frequent updates, and continue to ensure that each investigation is conducted with full professionalism, using full resources, until those responsible are brought to justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
"I hereby call on all relevant government ministries, the prosecutor's office, and the courts to stand by the police, invest the utmost effort and resources, increase punishment, and create deterrence, in order to stop these bloody events.".<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The words of Chief Police Commissioner Daniel Levy, at a situation assessment meeting: "In recent weeks, we have witnessed a disturbing and painful increase in murders in Arab and Jewish society.
