Police will reopen a criminal case against Jerusalem Deputy Mayor Arie King, after he was documented last year dragging a protester to the floor during a demonstration in Balfour.

About two thousand people attended the demonstration And at the end of the city center, blocked the rail and confronted the police. The police used force and water in order to evacuate the demonstrators.

Now, more than a year after the incident, the prosecution has decided to accept the appeal and return the case to the police. "It is clear to me that the police are political," Levy said. "I filed a complaint and had no expectations from the police, which amazes me that even on the face of it they did not investigate the case and did not summon witnesses. My hope is that the case will be settled with Aryeh King, "Check a house and act resolutely against any extremist who seeks to drag us into bloodshed."
Advocate Michal Pomerantz, representing the demonstrator Gili Levy, welcomed the prosecutor's decision: "It is inconceivable that a public figure would attack a demonstrator and determine that there is no criminal offense. "It is to be hoped that this time the police will stand on the severity chosen by a public that allows itself to take the law into its own hands and act violently against a political opponent, and will investigate Mr. King for his assault on Mr. Levy."
The police stated that "after the investigation of the person involved in the case and by virtue of the authority of the person in charge of the investigation, a decision was made to close the case due to the absence of a criminal offense, subject to the law of police authority to demand assistance from a person." In the State Attorney's Office, but we have not yet received their decision. "
