Senior Israeli Police Officer Alona Shoshan Reveals Sexual Harassment Complaint Against Deputy Commander Abudraham
Alona Shoshan, the head of Human Resources in the Israeli police, publicly identified herself as the senior officer who filed a sexual harassment complaint against Deputy Commander Lior Abudraham, the police spokesperson. Shoshan told Channel 12 that during a shared car ride, Abudraham repeatedly harassed her despite her requests to stop. She recorded the incident herself because she feared no one would believe her otherwise. Shoshan emphasized that she acted independently and was not instructed by anyone to record Abudraham.
Both Shoshan and Abudraham are senior officers closely associated with Police Commissioner Danni Levi and were appointed by Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. The two were also involved in a separate investigation related to Ben-Gvir’s associates, where they gave conflicting testimonies against each other. Shoshan revealed that the decision to come forward publicly was difficult and traumatic, requiring significant courage and resilience.
Abudraham has provided a testimony that completely contradicts Shoshan’s version of events. His account and the investigation findings are expected to be published soon and submitted to the police legal advisor. Shoshan’s lawyers stated that it is concerning that a senior police officer who reported sexual harassment now faces legal proceedings related to her complaint. They affirmed their client’s commitment to full cooperation and confidence that the truth will prevail.
