The puzzling statement and the criticism:
Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gabir held a situation assessment meeting today (Friday) with Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai in the background of the attack in Jerusalem. At the end of the assessment of the situation, Ben Gabir directed the police to prepare and prepare plans for Magen Wall 2 in East Jerusalem starting this coming Sunday Senior police officers: "He doesn't understand anything."
An official who was present at the situation assessment meeting said that the decision was accepted impulsively: the minister demanded to think outside the box, when he realized that there were additional sensitivities included in the decision, the minister knocked on the table and said, 'I demand a defensive wall 2.'"

The senior police officers were left embarrassed and shortly after the end of the meeting they were surprised when the things said in the room went out to the media unilaterally.
Senior police officers past and present later said that Ben Gabir makes his decisions on the spur of the moment.
"He pulls plans out of his pocket without understanding or trying to understand the consequences," a senior police officer told Israel Hayom.
"There has never been a minister here in the TP who talks so much and does so little and confidently understands nothing," wrote retired superintendent Aryeh Amit, former commander of the Jerusalem district.
