Title פרשת עוזי משולם.
Additional Titles Case Uzi Meshulam. [picture]
Scope and content On Friday 25 March 1994, a two-and-a-half day armed siege of a Yehud house - on the outskirts of Tel Aviv - was ended after Knesset leaders agreed to set up a parliamentary commission of inquiry. The siege had begun over a disagreement between Yemenite Rabbi Uzi Meshulam and a group of private building contractors when water was accidentally spilt on building materials belonging to the Rabbi's group. Meshulam and a number of supporters - all heavily armed - barricaded themselves into a house and then switched their focus to begin a campaign for a commission of inquiry - like that currently looking into the massacre at Hebron - into the disappearance of Yemenite children in the 1950's. Meshulam and his supporters claim that Yemenite babies were "kidnapped by the state" in the first few years after the airlift of most of Yemenite Jewry.
During the siege shots were fired and firebombs thrown at police. Police and elite anti-terror squads had equipped themselves to storm the building before an agreement forged by Knesset Speaker Shevach Weiss, Deputy Speaker Dov Shilansky and Meretz Member of Knesset (MK) Avraham Poraz persuaded the demonstrators to leave their positions peacefully. The agreement stipulated that a Knesset commission of inquiry will be established to look into the claims of the group - with its deliberations to be open to the public. It also specified that there would be an investigation into “violent police behaviour" during the siege
and that several of Meshullam's arrested supporters would be immediately released. Tel Aviv Police Chief Gabi Last said he was “happy and relieved the siege ended peacefully”. Others in Israel are concerned that the siege and the list of demands that were submitted to creates a precedent far any group that has a collective grievance and a reward for violent tactics.
