Minister Ohana visited Arie Chef's home
The Minister of Internal Security, Amir Ohana, this morning (Tuesday) visited Aryeh Schiff, who shot a man who tried to steal his car, at his home in Arad.
At their meeting, the minister told Schiff that: "The indictment against you should not have been filed, and once filed - it should be dismissed."
Homeland Security Minister: "There was no need to file the indictment"
He added: "As usual, and contrary to popular opinion, the problem is not in the law, nor in the language of the law. The problem is in the commentators of the law. They want to give the law a narrow interpretation to the point of nullification (and so do commentators on issues of self-defense). Broad and enabling interpretation.
"They have taken on the power to mold content or empty the law of content. Each case should be examined in the light of all the circumstances that make it up. I call on law enforcement, prosecutors and courts to return to the sources: the law is designed to protect people like Aryeh Schiff from the offenders." The Minister.
Minister Ohana also wrote on his Facebook account: "If Aryeh Schiff had confronted the squad of criminals when he was unarmed, he would probably have paid for it in his life. Things have never been the case.
"Aryeh Schiff inevitably became a sergeant. This morning I went down to Arad to meet him, with his family members where he is under house arrest. I wanted to strengthen him. In my eyes, he is an exemplary citizen," he wrote.
