Prime Minister Yair Lapid visited the Ofer security prison today (Tuesday), accompanied by Minister of Internal Security Amr Bar-Lev, Deputy Minister of Defense Yoav Seglovitz, Chairman of the Internal Security Committee MK Merav Ben Ari and Commissioner of Prisons Rav Gonder Katy Perry.
Lapid said during the visit: "The way to examine a security organization is to ask yourself what would happen if it did not exist. If there were no traffic police, there would be more traffic accidents, and if there were no patrols of the General Staff then there would be far fewer special operations.
If it were not for the prison service, it would not be possible to live in the State of Israel - because it would be flooded with crime, attacks and terrorists.
No one was safe in their home and no one was safe outside their home.
You are the last line of defense against chaos and that is the importance of this organization, and that is why I wanted to come here.

"Strong organizations, and you are a strong and good organization, know how to examine themselves with openness, and to go to all the most difficult places. We will investigate, we will know. The State of Israel will not stand against the fear that a duty prisoner in the State of Israel was raped, or harassed by terrorists. But we will maintain This organization because this organization - the life of every citizen in Israel depends on its strength, power and integrity."
In light of the Prime Minister's request - the opening of the "hotline" to assist women in prison will be brought forward for another two weeks.
Internal Security Minister Amar Bar-Lev: "After previous governments neglected it, the prison service is undergoing a very impressive revolution under the leadership of Commissioner Kathy Perry and in successful joint work with the Ministry of Internal Security - and today it is an organization that is breaking new ground, with the use of very advanced technologies and capabilities."
A torch in the Ofer camp,
The Commissioner of Prisons, Rabbi Gondar Cathy Perry: "We all see eye to eye the duty to eradicate events of this type by responding determinedly with zero patience as the facts that are still under a gag order come to light."
The State Comptroller, Mattanihu Engelman, met today in Acre with the mayors of the "Western Galilee Cluster", and referred to the audit of the whole "pimp in custody" affair which is in progress.
Engelman said at the beginning of his remarks: "A few months ago I announced that I would start a review of the case of the "pimp in the prisons" in Gilboa prison. I can tell you that we are already in the middle of the review. We must not move to the agenda for serious sexual assaults on soldiers in mandatory service who serve in the bodies entrusted with law enforcement. Actions These are intolerable and unforgivable. I want to say from here to the victims: My heart goes out to you, I understand the terrible trauma you experienced. We will turn over every stone to find all the deficiencies. I call on anyone who has been harmed or has been harmed or who has information on the matter to hand it over to the state audit."
