National Security Minister Ben-Gvir Halts Police Appointments Ahead of Elections
Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has responded to Police Commissioner Danny Levi's ongoing appointments within the Israel Police, despite Ben-Gvir's directive to freeze them. The minister stated on Tuesday that no appointments would be made before the upcoming elections, with the exception of "exceptional cases."
Ben-Gvir clarified that any proposed exceptional appointments would be individually reviewed by him, contingent upon the Police Commissioner presenting specific justifications. All other appointments are to be deferred until after the elections, at which point they will be discussed. The minister's statement comes amid reports of recommendations for new police appointments being processed by Commissioner Levi, seemingly disregarding Ben-Gvir's earlier freeze order.
