Uzi Meshulam

Uzi Meshulam (Hebrew: עוזי משולם‎; October 30, 1952 - June 21, 2013) was a Rabbi from Yehud who in 1994 was the leader of a group of Yemenite Jews who resisted Israeli law enforcement authorities.

As a result, a large force of police, snipers and a Special Patrol Unit surrounded Meshulam's house for weeks.

[2][3] Meshulam's followers were accused of a number of offenses: conspiracy to commit a crime, obstructing justice, an attempt to injury with serious intent, threats, deliberate risk of human lives, and manufacturing illegal weapons.

In 2016, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appointed cabinet member Tzachi Hanegbi to re-examine the evidence.

I don’t know where.” He acknowledged that “hundreds” of children were taken without their parents’ consent, the first time such a public admission had been made by a government official.
