Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu unusually summoned Police Commissioner Danny Levy on Sunday for a discussion regarding the police's preparations for the upcoming elections, just two days before Israelis head to the polls. This meeting is considered irregular because, so close to an election, the chairman of the Central Elections Committee is typically responsible for overseeing such matters.
Last week, Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir had requested to convene all senior police officials for a similar discussion. However, the Police Commissioner decided that only one officer would provide him with an update, citing the sensitivity and proximity to the elections.
