No probe into settler violence
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Israel’s acting prime minister said a probe into violence at a settler protest last week is unnecessary.
Ehud Olmert said at Sunday’s Cabinet meeting that accusations of excessive force by the police during the Feb. 1 evacuation of the West Bank outpost of Amona should not be investigated because he doesn’t want to politicize the event. More than 200 people, including three Knesset members, were injured in the violence. On Sunday night, tens of thousands rallied in Jerusalem against what they called an excessive use of police force in quelling the riots.
