Our citizens can't practice violence, whether Arabs or Jewish. We take action against them with law enforcement. It's such a tiny group, and when we bring them to court, they are lenient because they are young, and I don't agree with that," he said.When asked about an American-Palestinian beaten to death by settlers, he told CNN, "We have real investigations. We are a transparent country.
