Israeli lawmaker Yitzhak Kroizer, a member of the Otzma Yehudit party, is scheduled to undergo questioning by law enforcement officials. The investigation centers on allegations that Kroizer assaulted a police officer during a riot that occurred on October 1 in the West Bank settlement of Mitzpe Yeriho.

In response to the announcement of the probe, party leader Itamar Ben Gvir has publicly criticized the Attorney General’s office. Ben Gvir characterized the decision to investigate Kroizer as an act of "selective enforcement," suggesting that the legal system is applying different standards to members of his party compared to others. The investigation remains ongoing, and specific details regarding the evidence or the officer's condition have not been fully disclosed by authorities at this stage.
