Israeli government approves expanding Shin Bet's authority to combat crime in Arab communities
The Israeli government approved a plan to transfer the authority for combating crime within the Arab community from the police to the General Security Service (Shabak), with a budget approaching half a billion shekels. The goal is to strengthen efforts to combat violence and crime in Arab municipalities. Human rights organizations have noted that this step raises concerns about expanding security intervention into the civil affairs of Arab citizens and about the establishment of separate investigative systems for Arabs and Jews. Legal entities also warned that expanding Shabak's authority could conflict with laws and regulations related to suspects' rights and might lead to constitutional issues, especially given the nature of the agency’s original responsibilities, which are focused on security and terrorist matters rather than criminal cases.
