“It will deal with this exclusively. The police does not deal exclusively with this. It’s busy with a thousand and one things,” he told Army Radio.

It appointed a multi-agency panel to submit recommendations on this and other issues in 90 days. Israel’s police chief, Inspector-General Yaacov Shabtai, has expressed misgivings that the national guard, if not under his own force’s control, “could prove most costly and even harm the security of the citizenry,” according to the Ynet news site.
“Why does the State of Israel – which has an army, police, military intelligence, the Shin Bet, Mossad, National Security Council, Prisons Service, riot police, a SWAT team – need another national guard?” tweeted Arab lawmaker Ayman Odeh.
