Defense Minister Yoav Gallant was supposed to come this evening (Thursday) to comfort the bereaved at the family members of haredi leader Rabbi Gershon Edelstein Bnei Brak.

Police and ISA forces arrived on the street and began blocking and planning the area for the minister's arrival, but due to the difficulty of blocking the street and making sure the area would be secure, the minister canceled his arrival at the last minute.
