National Security Minister Ben-Gvir Clashes With Police Commissioner Over Funding
Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has escalated his dispute with Police Commissioner Danny Levi, sending a sharp letter to Levi's office regarding a delay in hundreds of millions of shekels allocated to the police force. Ben-Gvir stated in the letter, "The Israel Police does not belong to the Commissioner."
Furthermore, Ben-Gvir announced that his ministry will directly procure necessary equipment for the police's urgent needs, bypassing the usual transfer of funds to the force. He explained that this measure is intended to "ensure appropriate and proper use of the funds."
A senior official within the police organization criticized Ben-Gvir's actions, accusing him of attempting to become a "super-commissioner."
