Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Tuesday, 17 Elul 5772, spoke with Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovich and was updated on the actions being taken by the Israel Police to apprehend those who desecrated the Latrun Monastery.

“Those responsible for this reprehensible act need to be punished severely. Freedom of religion and freedom of worship are among the most basic foundations of the State of Israel,” the Prime Minister said.
