Herzog: New Penalties 'Too Little, Too Late'
- 9 years ago
Opposition leader MK Yitzhak Herzog on Thursday night dismissed the Cabinet’s approval of new measures that would impose harsher punishments on rock throwers as “too little, too late”.
"Once again Netanyahu is talking instead of doing," charged Herzog, who added, "The problem is not the means. The Netanyahu government is a failure when it comes to security because it uses patchwork, too little and too late, instead of passing a law on terrorism and dealing seriously with serious threats to the residents of Jerusalem."
Among the measures passed on Thursday is a change in the instructions to police regarding opening fire against terrorists, and the use of nonlethal sharpshooting guns.
