Snippet:
Defense Minister Israel Katz wants to shift responsibility for handling Israeli extremist violence in the West Bank from the IDF to the police. It is an idea worth discussing, but a shift this radical should not be announced before it is actually planned, particularly in an arena as volatile and operationally complicated as the West Bank.
