Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai said in a Friday interview that he has no plans to resign following the deadly crush a week earlier that killed at least 45 during festivities at Mount Meron.
“In this specific case, we have an issue that needs to be examined by external authorities. I am content that I did everything with the tools I had at my disposal,” he told the Kan public radio.
Shabtai told the station he welcomes a national commission of inquiry into the disaster, which he says would mean the police wouldn’t be the only authority under investigation.
