The Minister of National Security, MK Itamar Ben Gvir, spoke this morning (Wednesday) with Police Commissioner Yaakov Shabtai, and told him that he must hold a dialogue with all the leaders of the protests and not only with the leaders of the leftist protest.
"There are no type A and type B protesters," said Ben Gvir.
The minister said these things to the commissioner following the police announcement that Shabtai will meet with the leaders of the protest against the reform of the justice system, including former chief of staff Bogi Ya'alon, former head of the Mossad Tamir Pardo and attorney Eliad Sharaga from the movement for the quality of government.
Ben Gabir admitted that he supports the dialogue with the demonstrators, but this should also be done with the leaders of other protests and demonstrations such as the protest over the death of Ahovia Sendak or ultra-Orthodox protests. "The dialogue must be with everyone." According to sources privy to the details, the Commissioner accepted Ben Gabir's words with understanding.

Yesterday, Ben Gvir called on the police not to discriminate favorably against the protesters against the legal reform of the Minister of Simplification, Yariv Levin.
At the beginning of the Yeshiva of the Otzma Yehudit faction, Ben Gvir said that the police should treat the protesters exactly as the organization treats the right-wing protesters.
He condemned the signs placed in the demonstration against Justice Minister Yariv Levin, which included his image next to the symbol of the Nazi SS unit.
"Speaking of lawbreakers, I will refer in one more sentence to what we saw in Tel Aviv, in the demonstration. I am in favor of demonstrations, in favor of freedom of speech, but we also saw a serious damage to democracy, incitement against Minister Yariv Levin, blocking roads," he said.
Ben Gvir said these things even though before he took office, during a discussion on demonstrations in the Internal Security Committee, he said that "there are rioters and there are rioters. Blocking a road is not terrible. In a democracy sometimes they block a road. If someone throws a stone at a policeman, that's something else ".
