Protests are expected to intensify Tuesday amid anger in Israel’s Ethiopian community over the fatal shooting of an unarmed man by an off-duty police officer on Sunday, as police warned they would respond “firmly” to any further violence. The Israel Police officer who shot Tekah was arrested on suspicion of unlawful killing, the PIID said Monday. Tekah’s death immediately sparked renewed accusations of police brutality and racism toward the Ethiopian community. The report offered 53 detailed recommendations for tackling racism throughout Israeli society, mainly through the education system. “The Ethiopian community is dear to us all,” Netanyahu said.
