Gadi Eisenkot's Yishai! party has urgently appealed to the Attorney General and the Chairman of the Election Committee, demanding the cancellation of a meeting between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Police Commissioner. The party argues that the Prime Minister cannot interfere with election preparations, as this responsibility falls under the purview of the Election Committee chairman, especially so close to election day.
Netanyahu had summoned Police Commissioner Dani Levy for an urgent discussion regarding the police's readiness for election day. The Yishai! party's appeal, submitted by attorney Uri Heberman to Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, contends that such a meeting is unprecedented and constitutes political interference. The Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, was also slated to attend.
Election Committee Chairman Justice Noam Solberg has given the Attorney General and the Prime Minister until 10:30 AM to respond to the appeal. This development comes just two days before the polls open.
Separately, the Shin Bet security service announced it would provide security for Eisenkot, along with Yair Golan and Ofer Winter, leaders of the Democrats and Amcha Israel parties respectively. This security detail will be managed by a private company under the guidance of Unit 730, responsible for VIP protection within the Shin Bet.
