The court on Wednesday rejected the police request to extend the arrest of the bus driver who struck and killed Naftali Tzvi Kramer, z’l, contrary to the request of the police, who had demanded that his detention be extended by another 10 days.
During the hearing, the police argued that there is a real need to continue holding the driver in custody, among other things, due to the severity of the incident and its fatal consequences. However, the court ruled that at this stage there is no justification to grant the request and ordered the driver’s release under restrictive conditions.
The police announced that they will appeal the court’s decision.
Disturbing footage filmed inside the bus in the moments that the driver struck and killed Kramer, z’l, near Komemiyut on Tuesday has raised serious questions about the background of the deadly incident.
The footage from the bus camera, published by Yisrael Hayom on Wednesday morning, shows that the driver was driving erratically before the “accident.” The frightened girls on the bus are heard panicking over the driver’s reckless behavior in the moment before the impact. “Here are all the bochurim. What is he doing?” they are heard saying. “He’s crazy! Oh no. These are bochurim—stop! What is this? What did he do, idiot!”
And then hysterical screams are heard after the fatal impact.
UTJ party leader MK Uri Maklev sent a letter to Knesset Speaker MK Amir Ohana on Wednesday, demanding that an emergency Knesset discussion be held on an urgent proposal for the agenda on the topic: “A severe phenomenon of the ramming of protesters—two dead and four injured.”

The court is only interested in holding the staff from this daycare centre & in holding dead baby bodies {this lower court} but so motivated to release murderous arab drivers.
There is only one Knesset member who cares about Israeli Jews. Thats Ben Gevir. The speaker of the knesset Amir O’Hana is a mishkav zachor. You wonder why so much tragedy is happening every week. What would Moshe Rabbeinu and Dovid Hamelech do as Israel has become a Sodom. All these deaths starting from October 7 are because the government and courts have turned on the Torah. You all forgot why Oct 7 happened. The court ruled you cant daven Yom Kippur if there is a mechitzah between men and women. So the Arabs broke through the mechitza wall in Gaza. Then the court ruled you can’t have hakofas on simchas Torah if women are separated from dancing with the men. And so on simchas Torah the Arabs joined the NoVa avodah Zora festival and went on a killing spree.
