Many MKs - particularly from Arab political parties - responded angrily Tuesday to clashes between police and residents of the Galilee Druze town of Peki'in that left 40 people wounded earlier in the day.
Two of the wounded were in serious condition, and 27 police officers were among those hurt.
One of the harshest was that of MK Majali Wahabi of Kadima, who demanded the dismissal of Northern District Police Chief Major General Shimon Koren for the "unrestrained use of violence against civilians." Wahabi, who lives in the neighboring village of Beit Jann, also called fo... Read more

Atlanta police face changes fo
The city's police chief says police informants will undergo "integrity checks" and be photographed at drug buys, under guidelines put into place in response to a drug raid in November that ended in the shooting death of a 92-year-old woman.
The changes are necessary to protect citizens and officers in cases where police are depending upon the word of a confidential informant, Chief Richard Pennington told Atlanta radio station WSB on Monday.
In last year's incident, police said a confidential informant led them to the home of Kathryn Johnston. The elderly woman was killed and three plainclothes officers who entered her home with a no-knock warrant were wounded. Other than a small amount of marijuana, no drugs were found in Johnston's home.
Days after the shooting, a man claiming to be the informant told a television station that he never purchased drugs at his home, prompting Pennington to admit he was uncertain whether the suspected drug dealer actually existed.
Fulton County prosecutors have said they plan to seek murder charges against three police officers involved in the shooting.
Under Pennington's new guidelines, informants will undergo integrity checks, to test their veracity. Pennington is also ordering that police photograph informants as they enter into a drug location to make a buy, and that all payouts to informants be documented, and witnessed.
Pennington says some changes had been discussed before the Johnston shooting, but that incident gave the new policies a greater priority.
