Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir has authorized the release of 50 million shekels to the police force, a portion of a previously frozen budget of 333 million shekels. This decision resolves a weeks-long financial and managerial dispute between Ben-Gvir and Police Commissioner Dani Levy, which had created tension and jeopardized funding for key police operations.
The resolution was signaled by a public display of reconciliation, with the minister and police chief seen embracing at the Western Wall in Jerusalem during a traditional blessing ceremony. This gesture indicated the end of the conflict and the resumption of full cooperation between the ministry and the police.
The released funds are designated for the ongoing needs of law enforcement agencies and to ensure the operational efficiency of police units. The partial budget release is expected to ease tensions within the security leadership and allow the police to continue their planned activities without further disruption.
