The Minister of Internal Security, Amar Bar-Lev, was interviewed tonight (Saturday) on the program Meet the Press in order to explain and respond to the sequence of events and mistakes attributed to him this week.
As you may recall, during his speech at the funeral of those killed in the terrorist attack in Be'er Sheva, Bar-Lev said: "We will not keep quiet until the killer is imprisoned," when it was already clear that the terrorist had been killed at the scene.
"I did not approve but take responsibility": Minister Bar-Lev,
He later tweeted that the police had thwarted arms smuggling in Lebanon, writing that "we will not keep quiet until we put the smugglers in jail and prosecute them," and finally added a smiley wink - hinting at the embarrassing statement from the funeral.
Next delete the tweet.
After the tweet storm announced that he had fired his speaker.
"I did not see this tweet, but it does not matter, I take responsibility. I did not confirm it, I did not see it. "I will echo him, that's what I asked of him. I went to comfort Rabbi Kanievsky's family and he informed me that there was a mess with the tweet," Bar-Lev said tonight.

In addition, the minister referred to the storm that arose after the police confiscated the weapon of the citizen who killed the terrorist in the attack in Be'er Sheva, and said: "An unacceptable reference. I discussed this with the district commander on Friday and asked his direct station commander to summon and reprimand him."
