The incident of police brutality with Pakedeh brought the Ethiopian community to protest. Hundreds of Beta Israelis participated in protests the streets of Jerusalem on April 20, 2015, to decry what they view as "rampant racism" and violence in Israel directed at their community. Israel Police Commissioner Yohanan Danino met with representatives of the Israeli Ethiopian community that day following the recent violent incidents involving police officers and members of the community. When over a thousand people protested police brutality against Ethiopians and dark skinned Israelis, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced: "I strongly condemn the beating of the Ethiopian IDF soldier, and those responsible will be held accountable." In May 2015, after protests and demonstrations in Tel Aviv resulted in violence, injuries to demonstrators and police, Netanyahu planned to meet with representatives of the Ethiopian community, including Pakado. Netanyahu said the meeting would include Danino and representatives of several ministries, including Immigrant Absorption. Danino said he had already created a team of police representatives and Ethiopian community leaders who will work to improve relations.
