Israeli Security Concerns Over Red Cross Visits

Now, after the High Court's ruling, which is brand new from the beginning of June,

there is not only pressure, but real hysteria in the IPS,

that if the Red Cross enters and visits security prisoners starting

tomorrow morning, the PR disaster and the blood libels against our soldiers and our

guards and against the entire State of Israel,

as far as the IPS is concerned, is a given. It's going to happen.

Therefore, the IPS and the Ministry of National Security approached me and said, "

Take that bill they abandoned and turn it into not allowing the Red Cross under any

circumstances, under any circumstances, to visit security prisoners."

We don't need this,

and therefore this is a time when opposition and coalition don't matter.

This bill is not a boutique bill, it's not a vanity bill, it's a bill that

security officials approached me about and said," We need it now.

The State of Israel needs it now."
