A heated confrontation broke out last night (Sunday) during a cabinet meeting between Settlement and National Missions Minister Orit Struck and Shin Bet head David Zini - over the violent incidents in Judea and Samaria and the security establishment's response to them.
According to a report by Michael Shemesh on Channel 13, Strok claimed that the discussions present a partial picture that does not give sufficient weight to Palestinian attacks against Jews in the region.
""There are daily incidents where Palestinians attack shepherds, injure them, endanger their lives, attack young boys who are doing nothing, just shepherding," she said. "You present it as if the Arabs are just a bunch of spectator birds, and only the settlers are the problem. Flood these attacks as well, deal with them and talk about them.".
Zini responded sharply: "The Palestinians are not burning Jewish homes here. You are disconnected. We need to see condemnations and denunciations from the entire leadership. This harms settlement and harms security.".
Strok replied that she consistently works against incidents of violence: "I condemn all the time. I also go to farms and talk to the youth.".
Zini asked her: "Where is Ginit?".
Strok replied: "On Network B, on the GLA, in every media outlet. Just listen.".
