National Security Minister Ben-Gvir Halts Police Appointments Until After Elections
The office of Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has issued a clarification regarding recent reports about recommendations for senior appointments within the Israel Police. Minister Ben-Gvir reiterated his stance that no new appointments will be approved before the upcoming elections, except in highly exceptional circumstances.
These rare exceptions will be considered on a case-by-case basis and require thorough review by the minister himself. Such approvals will only be granted after the Police Commissioner presents detailed justifications for the necessity of the appointment. All other planned appointments are to be frozen and will be discussed systematically only after the election period concludes.
The clarification aims to address confusion stemming from reports about potential leadership changes within the police force, emphasizing the minister's commitment to delaying non-critical personnel decisions until after the electoral process.
