[Jpost] Erdan is responsible for the fight against BDS in the Strategic Affairs Ministry, and the steps he has taken in that battle are controversial and unconventional.
The tragic murder of Ari Fuld on September 16 highlighted the two difficult jobs that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s No. 2 in Likud, Public Security and Strategic Affairs Minister Gilad Erdan, took upon himself when the government was formed.
In the first ministry, Erdan is in charge of police and will soon be selecting a new chief to continue efforts against the so-called "lone-wolf terrorists," like the 17-year-old who murdered Fuld. That stabbing took place in Gush Etzion, where the police don’t have jurisdiction, but most lone-wolf attacks have been in Jerusalem, which has been the focus of Erdan’s new strategy in fighting terrorism. |
