It should be noted that this step was postponed in the past two days following an appeal by the infiltrators to the courts, seeking their release. Nevertheless, the Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, held an urgent meeting in which he requested that the relevant authorities expedite the administrative process, and it appears that his guidance will be implemented.
Ben Gvir: "We will act with full force against the rioters"
Following the arrests, Minister Ben-Gvir stated: "I am pleased that the prosecution and the immigration authority have received my directive in the ministerial committee to arrest the infiltrators who rioted and injured police officers this past weekend in the administrative process. I commend the law enforcement agencies for implementing the policy in the field, and we will not tolerate lawlessness and will act with full force against troublemakers in the State of Israel."
During disturbances in Tel Aviv: about 30 policemen were injured
It should be noted that this exceptional step comes after nearly 200 people were injured last Saturday, including 30 police officers, in riots that broke out in South Tel Aviv between opponents of the Eritrean government and supporters of the government. During the riots, rocks and scooters were thrown at businesses in the area, and equipment worth hundreds of thousands of shekels was damaged.
