Netanyahu Asserts Universal Application of Law in Golan, West Bank, and Ayalon Highway

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned settler rampages in Palestinian towns following a deadly terror shooting in the West Bank, while also referring to other recent unrest in the Golan Heights and Tel Aviv. The settler riots have drawn international censures and condemnation from security chiefs, leading to tensions within Netanyahu's far-right coalition. Opposition leaders criticized Netanyahu's government's record on security and the economy during a parliamentary debate. Netanyahu also addressed plans to bring ultra-Orthodox and Arab Israelis into the workforce instead of conscripting them into the military, following the government's approval to continue exempting ultra-Orthodox Israelis from the draft.
