President Isaac Herzog spoke Monday morning about Settlement Minister Orit Strzok's harsh attack on the heads of the defense establishment.
"We are at a critical point that requires responsibility on the part of everyone: responsibility on the part of policy makers and decision makers, responsibility on the part of the civic and community leadership, and responsibility on the part of the executive echelon on the ground," Herzog noted.

"The solutions to this issue are, of course, related to decisive enforcement, and to the significant activation of the education and welfare systems, and other systems on the ground; This requires an integrated, vigorous and determined move. I support and reinforce your strong statements on the subject, honorable Prime Minister and honorable head of the Shin Bet, in your joint statement together with the Chief of Staff and the Police Commissioner.

"I would like to remind everyone – and elected officials, first and foremost, to treat with dignity and fairness those who work day and night – hour after hour – often at the expense of home and family, with courage, dedication and determination, in the work of defending the State of Israel, its citizens and residents. The unrestrained attack on members of the security forces and their commanders cannot be put on the agenda, and we must all strongly condemn it."
