Dr. Beharev, a prominent medical professional, was detained on a bus overnight and interrogated early in the morning by investigators who accused him of various claims based on what they saw in a recorded clip. Despite being released in the morning, exhausted and bruised, with no action taken against the police officers who treated him violently, Dr. Beharev reassured everyone that he remained hopeful for a better society.
Meanwhile, Health Minister Uriel Bosso called for an investigation into the incident to prevent it from happening again, stating that saving lives and medical treatment should take precedence over maintaining public order. Similarly, Prof. Zion Hagai demanded an immediate condemnation of the police officers’ conduct and an independent investigation to address the incident and those responsible at all levels.
The Professionalism Forum for Human and Social Prosperity from Rahab warned that if doctors lose faith in the protection against police violence, it could lead to a collapse of the health system. It is important to focus on addressing the human rights violations and accountability in cases of police brutality rather than distractions related to firearms and gambling.
