Another Officer Plans High Court Petition After Ben Gvir Blocks Promotion
Senior Superintendent Itzik Elpsy, whose appointment as spokesperson for the Investigations and Intelligence Division was rejected by National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, has notified the minister that he intends to petition the High Court of Justice against the decision, according to a report published Tuesday by Josh Breiner.
The report says this is another case in a continuing trend of senior police officers challenging promotion decisions that were not approved. The article does not provide additional details about the grounds for the expected petition or any response from Ben Gvir.
Elpsy’s move sets up another legal challenge over appointments within the police under Ben Gvir’s authority. If filed, the petition would ask the High Court to review the minister’s refusal to approve his promotion and appointment to the role.
