Against the backdrop of the riots that took place at the gender-segregated public prayer in Dizengoff Square last Yom Kippur, Minister Ben-Gvir announced that he would arrive tomorrow (Thursday) for an evening prayer at the same place.
Today, situation assessments and approval of plans are underway in preparation for the security of the event. A senior police official told Israel Hayom on Wednesday: "This is a complex and sensitive incident. We want and pray that he passes safely. It's a small area cell, no one needs it, the responsible step from the police's point of view is for the event not to take place."
The official added: "We identify a misunderstanding and it is worth clarifying. The police will not help enforce what is not within their authority, i.e., enforcing a municipal bylaw. The police will assist the municipal inspectors if they get in the way of their work or any of them are attacked."
