Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, (Thursday, 13 May 2021), held an assessment of the situation at the Border Police headquarters in Lod. Participating in the discussion were the Public Security Minister, the Mayor of Lod, the Inspector General of the Israel Police, the commander of the Border Police, the head of the National Security Council, the Acting Director General of the Prime Minister's Office, the Director General of the Public Security Ministry, the Attorney General, the head of the ISA, the Prime Minister's Military Secretary and other senior officials. Attached photo credit: Koby Gideon (GPO) Prime Minister Netanyahu following the assessment: "We have just finished a command group, as you could call it, with the most senior security officials: The Public Security Minister, the Inspector General of the Israel Police, head of the ISA, the Attorney General, the commander of the Border Police and other officials. Our goal is to achieve results and achieve them quickly. We need to restore quiet and security for the citizens of Israel and this starts and ends with backing our soldiers. They will receive full backing. We have told them: 'We hear whisperings of concern over commissions of inquiry, investigations and checks.' We will give you all of the tools to defend yourselves, defend the citizens of Israel and prevent disturbances. You have the backing, do not be concerned. This is the first point and I believe the most important. We also went over other points and it is important to me to list them quickly: One, there is unprecedented cooperation here between the ISA, the Israel Police and the legal authorities. They all understand there is not an ordinary criminal event here even though many criminal elements are involved. There are law-breaking elements here that are, in effect, violating the framework of the State of Israel; therefore, against such a threat it is possible to use administrative detentions and other detentions as well for the rioters. We have put this into high gear; this is the second thing. The third thing is the mobilization of reservists that will be completed in the coming hours. There is also the possibility of using IDF soldiers. I brought clear examples that this is being done in other countries, in the US, UK, France and in the State of Israel as well. The late Yitzhak Rabin brought in IDF forces on Land Day for disturbances very similar to what we are seeing here: In Arraba, Sakhnin, Taybe and elsewhere. We have this right. We have just brought in military forces to help with the lockdowns, to help the police. Now, of course with the pandemic, with the coronavirus and do not forget the disengagement. We have used IDF forces for such goals and others. But what goal is more correct than that of preventing these disturbances and this violence? Therefore, to the extent that it is necessary, the [Israel Police] Inspector General has already released various means for action: Clubs, Rugers, water cannons, all of these things that are used and this use is permitted because right now we have no greater threat than these disturbances and this is vital for restoring law and order with these means. Seeking contact – We do not intend to leave people concentrated in groups. These Border Police soldiers and Israel Police officers will deploy in the neighborhoods and places where it is necessary. True, forces are lacking. Because of this we have also brought in the soldiers here. But we will do everything in our power to give you the means, the capabilities, the deployment and the backing. These are the important things that I wanted to say. I cannot tell you that we are not facing escalation. The intelligence that we have says that it could very well be that we will have an upsurge of violence here in the coming days. It could be that blows will be exchanged here. It is always like this; in putting down rioters one needs to use force, a lot of force. We will use it while giving full backing to the Israel Police and the soldiers of the Border Police."

"What is happening in Israel's cities over the past few days is unacceptable. We have seen Arab rioters set fire to synagogues and vehicles and attack police officers. They are attacking peaceful and innocent citizens. This is something that we cannot accept; it is anarchy. Nothing justifies this and I will tell you that nothing justifies the lynching of Jews by Arabs and nothing justifies the lynching of Arabs by Jews. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, (Wednesday, 12 May 2021): We will not tolerate this. This violence is not us. We will restore administration and governance in Israel's cities everywhere, in all cities, in the Jewish-Arab integrated cities, in Jewish cities, everywhere. I have ordered the police to adopt emergency powers, to reinforce with Border Police units and, of course, to impose curfews where necessary. I am now going to an emergency meeting in order to give the police additional powers, give more backing for the police, and give them additional forces. I also intend to bring in military forces according to the existing law and we will pass an additional law if necessary. We must tell the police and soldiers that we are sending them to maintain order. We will do everything so that they will have the necessary powers and forces to carry out the mission. To the citizens of Israel I say that I do not care if your blood is boiling. You cannot take the law into your own hands. You cannot grab an ordinary Arab citizen and try to lynch him – just as we cannot watch Arab citizens do this to Jewish citizens. This will not happen. This is something that I am certain is shared by most citizens of Israel. We are in a fight on two fronts, on one front against Hamas and we are all united and Hamas is firing missiles and rockets that hurt Jews and Arabs alike. Let us come together and do the task that is necessary for us as citizens of our state – to restore governance, eliminate this anarchy and maintain and restore the security and quiet that we all deserve."

President Rivlin: “The sight of the pogrom in Lod and the disturbances across the country by an incited and bloodthirsty Arab mob, Injuring people, damaging property and even attacking sacred Jewish spaces is unforgiveable. Tearing down the Israeli flag by Arab rioters and replacing it with the Palestinian flag is a brutal assault on shared existence in the State of Israel.” “The silence of the Arab leadership about these disturbances is shameful, giving support to terrorism and rioting and encouraging the rupture of the society in which we live and in which we will continue to live once all this has passed.” “The Israeli government must pursue the rioters with a firm hand restore security and order while fighting terrorism from Gaza without compromise.” “Please pay very good attention to the instructions for keeping safe and reassure those close to you. Our forces who are fighting right now will overcome all our enemies as we have always done. We will all be a support for them.” “This is the choice of our life - to be ready and armed, strong and determined, prepared to defend our home. We will overcome this testing time and will come out if it full of confidence and strength. This country belongs to us all, and more than anything we must be loyal to it and its laws.” President of Israel Reuven (Ruvi) Rivlin today, Wednesday 12 May / 1 Sivan, gave a statement in light of the recent upsurge in violence. President Rivlin’s remarks in full: “My fellow Israelis, since Sunday, terrorist organizations Hamas and Islamic Jihad have launched a despicable and planned attack on Israel’s cities. We stand with the bereaved families warmly embracing them with consolation at this difficult time and praying for the full recovery of those injured. My dear ones, the sight of the pogrom in Lod and the disturbances across the country by an incited and bloodthirsty Arab mob, Injuring people, damaging property and even attacking sacred Jewish spaces is unforgiveable. Tearing down the Israeli flag by Arab rioters and replacing it with the Palestinian flag is a brutal assault on shared existence in the State of Israel. The silence of the Arab leadership about these disturbances is shameful, giving support to terrorism and rioting and encouraging the rupture of the society in which we live and in which we will continue to live once all this has passed. The Israeli government must pursue the rioters with a firm hand restore security and order while fighting terrorism from Gaza without compromise. This is the choice of our life - to be ready and armed, strong and determined, prepared to defend our home. We will overcome this testing time and will come out if it full of confidence and strength. This country belongs to us all, and more than anything we must be loyal to it and its laws. My dear ones, please be patient. Please pay very good attention to the instructions for keeping safe and reassure those close to you. Our forces who are fighting right now will overcome all our enemies as we have always done. We will all be a support for them. Bless you.”

PM Netanyahu Visits Acre Police Station for Discussion and Assessment of the Situation following Events in the City Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, today (Wednesday, 12 May 2021), went to the Acre police station for a discussion and assessment of the situation – with the mayor, the Public Security Minister, the Inspector General of the Israel Police and other senior officials – following events in the city. Attached photo credit: Haim Zach (GPO) PM Netanyahu after the assessment: "We are in a fight on several fronts. Last night, at 02:00, after the discussions and decisions at the Kirya about the situation in Gaza, I went to Lod, another front of anarchy that was opened there. We also made decisions there and brought in forces and this afternoon here in Acre. We will continue the effort to stop the anarchy, restore governance to Israel's cities with an iron fist if necessary, with all necessary force and with all necessary authority. From here I am going back to the Kirya to meet with the IDF Chief-of-Staff and GOC Air Force. This evening, I will convene the Security Cabinet. There have been difficult developments, including anti-tank fire. We will respond, and are responding, with increasing force; I will not go into details here. Regarding the disturbances that we saw, unfortunately, in the Jewish-Arab integrated cities: First of all, this is intolerable. This reminds us of scenes from the history of our people and we cannot accept this, certainly not in our state. My first directive was to bring in Border Police units from Judea and Samaria to assist the Israel Police and this was done. These forces have arrived in Lod, Acre and other places. They are now under police control in a way that they had not been previously, and this is important. Second, I asked that they be given emergency situation authority. There was a bit of a struggle about this as well but we resolved this legal issue. Now they are equipped with tools including the imposition of curfews, if necessary. It must be understood that the first thing we want is to stop the wave of riots. I call on all public leaders, especially the leaders of the Arab public, to condemn and to take all action to stop this. We will use the sovereign power in our hands to impose order and restore quiet and security to the citizens and cities of Israel." Prime Minister Netanyahu added: "The fabric of life that we all aspire to and that we are all proud of, there are those who are trying to unravel it, we will not allow this. We will deal with them and we will impose governance and restore Acre and the cities of Israel to the track of integration, success and taking full part in the wonder that is Israel. Whoever thinks that they will succeed in moving us backward – they will not succeed thanks to the combination of correct policy, the investment of resources and also much force where it is necessary. I would like to thank those who are faithful to this mission – the police and Border Police personnel, the Inspector General, the commanders and the Public Security Minister. Strong work and backing are needed here; just as the citizens of Israel back the soldiers of the IDF, they also need to back Israel Police officers and Border Police fighters. This is the same fight. This is the same fight for the State of Israel and its security – both external and internal. We give full backing to the police. If somebody thinks that there will not be united, strong and forceful leadership here due to this or that consideration, they are mistaken. We are here and we are using the full weight of our power in order to defend the State of Israel from enemies from without and from rioters within."

Hamas and Islamic Jihad fired more than 1,050 rockets into south-central Israel in 38 hours. They have gone completely crazy this time, and it is evident that the Communist Party, the Democratic Party and Iran support them with a lot of money.

I know that this also entails patience and a certain sacrifice on your part, citizens of Israel. Unfortunately, two of our people have been killed. I ask all of you to listen to instructions and strictly follow the directives of IDF Home Front Command. It saves lives. We still have a way to go and we will do so together with responsibility and full backing for the attacks that the IDF is making and will make. I would also like to say something to Israeli Arabs. There were wild disturbances here yesterday, which we cannot tolerate, by young hotheads. Our directive is to do everything to maintain law and order.
