National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir stated on Wednesday that the core of his dispute with Police Commissioner Danny Levi is not about the police budget, but rather about appointments during an election period. Ben-Gvir asserted that he is the minister who has brought the most funding to the police and raised officers' salaries.
Instead, Ben-Gvir alleged that the commissioner is being controlled by the Attorney General, who is demanding the immediate promotion of her associate, Tamar Liberty. Liberty previously served as the chief of staff for former Police Commissioner Roni Alsheikh.
Ben-Gvir declared his firm stance against what he termed the "criminal" Attorney General interfering with the Israel Police and dictating appointments of associates, especially questionable appointments just before an election, which he believes violates proper administrative procedures.
