The commander of the southern district, Superintendent Peretz Amar, presented today (Wednesday) to the Minister of Internal Security, Amir Ohana, the weapons seized in the southern district between the years 2021-2020 at the police station in Dimona.

The visit took place in the presence of Mayor Bnei Bitton, during which Minister Ohana unveiled a new branch of the police in the Negev region - the "Safe Wing" - whose role is to eradicate crime in Arab society. 

The district commander opened and said: "We are at the peak of Minister Ohana's visit as part of this visit which he devoted three days in a row. We are on the second day, he (Ohana) visits and closely monitors the police deployments in the Negev, for security, order and personal security. To the general public who live here. "

Superintendent Amar also added one of the reasons for holding the exhibition: "We have been experiencing quite a bit of public criticism in recent days, and I think we want to show a little bit of the activities we do to instill a sense of public confidence."

Dimona Mayor Bnei Bitton shares the same feeling: "In the Negev district there has been a violent dialogue against the Israeli police in recent days, and I think the death of the problem is in dialogue with Arab society. The prime minister has appointed himself chairman of the Committee to Eliminate Violence in Arab Society. The heads of the authorities from the Arab society stand proud, want to solve the problem and do not say that there is no problem, I call on you (Ohana), the Minister of Finance and the Prime Minister to set resources and budgets. "

Minister Ohana chose to present his angle on the problems in the Negev region: "We are talking about a small minority from Arab society that produces about 60 percent of the serious impact in the State of Israel. The smuggling smuggled from the region here, from the Jordanian border brought 34 guns. "Many people too. We experienced it, we saw it, everything preceded in Hebrew society which unfortunately lost too many of its young people to this crime. To the murders, to the acts of violence but of course also in general society and we are determined to bring news."

Ohana presented the new plan, the "Safe" wing, and said: "This is a wing whose mission will not only be to build more police stations and more police points in Arab society, but also to recruit more policemen from members of Muslim society and thwart crime. There will be a conflict desk that will deal with "The conflicts across the country will map out the points that could burn to put them out first. There will be a board of local leaders, clerics, opinion leaders, who will work with the police to prevent these conflicts, and to eliminate them before they eliminate us."
