"I have been accompanying the fight against agricultural terrorism and crime in the rural area for many years as a Member of Knesset," says Minister Ohana.

In a preliminary conversation with Israel Today, Mandelblit clarifies that he intends to present the activities of a "super team for dealing with serious crime" established in the Ministry of Justice.
