Police on Monday questioned the mayor of the largely ultra-Orthodox settlement of Beitar Illit under caution over suspicions that he turned a blind eye to violence committed by local residents.
At least two men are suspected of attacking fellow residents whose dress or behavior they deemed “insufficiently modest,” while the mayor, Meir Rubinstein, is suspected of obstructing investigations, fraud and breach of trust.
