Police reform and national-security minister powers

What changed

In Statement A, Lapid demands police arrests and enforcement against protesters he characterizes as violent, criticizing Ben Gvir and Likud members for not deploying the police against them. In Statement B, Lapid condemns a police arrest of a protester, arguing that Israel is not a dictatorship where citizens cannot speak truth to power. Both statements involve Ben Gvir, police arrests, and protests, but Lapid's position on police use of arrest power is reversed depending on which side of the political spectrum the protesters appear to be on — calling for more arrests in one case and condemning arrests in the other.
