Statement from PM Netanyahu's Office
(Communicated by the Prime Minister's Media Adviser)
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the reinforcement of Israel
Police units in Jerusalem; to this end, three reserve Border Police
companies have been mobilized. The mobilization of forces will continue as
necessary. The three companies will reinforce the Israel Police in Jerusalem
and throughout the country. An increased presence is a primary preventive
and deterrent measure.
Prime Minister Netanyahu will, tomorrow (Sunday, 11 October 2015), convene
an additional discussion of the Muslim Brotherhood and the Islamic Movement.
The security establishment has – in recent days, on instruction from the
Prime Minister – formulated a series of actions against the Islamic Movement
and the incitement that it is fomenting.
Prime Minister Netanyahu, last night (Friday, 9 October 2015), spoke with US
Secretary of State John Kerry and made it clear that he expects the
Palestinian Authority to stop its wild and mendacious incitement, which is
causing the current wave of terrorism. Secy. of State Kerry clarified that
the US is aware of the fact that it is Israel's policy to maintain the
status quo and not change it.
