Police Commissioner Proceeds With Appointments Despite Minister's Freeze Order
Police Commissioner Yaakov Shabtai has begun a series of appointments within the Israel Police, defying an order from National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir to freeze 141 pending promotions. Among the appointments finalized is Superintendent Tamar Liberty, who has been appointed deputy legal advisor to the police.
The commissioner's decision to move forward with the appointments, despite the minister's directive, signals a significant disagreement between the two figures regarding the management of the police force. The specific reasons for Minister Ben-Gvir's order to freeze the appointments were not detailed in the report, nor were the implications of the commissioner's defiance.
