Police Chief Approves Appointments Amid Minister's Opposition
Police Commissioner Daniel Levi held a senior command meeting on Thursday, September 17, approving a new round of appointments. According to Channel 14, these appointments will only take effect after approval from National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who is reportedly delaying them. Sources close to the minister claim Levi's decision is intended to pressure Ben-Gvir through officers awaiting promotion. Ben-Gvir had previously informed Levi that he would not sign off on new appointments during the election period, except for urgent and essential ones. Following this, the Police Commissioner met with Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara. Sources within Ben-Gvir's circle suggest that Levi is attempting to advance officers perceived as close to Baharav-Miara, which is why the minister decided to block the process.
