Commentator Warns Israeli Security Chiefs Risk Civil Strife

Commentator Ruviv Drucker of Channel 13 has sharply criticized the heads of Israel's internal security and police forces, comparing them to "sleeper agents" and warning of potential "chaos and civil war." Drucker made these remarks on his program "Exclusive Zone," targeting Shin Bet chief David Zini and Police Commissioner Dany Levi. He suggested their appointments were timed for a critical juncture, implying they were activated for specific purposes.

Drucker focused on the recent arrests of Ra'am party activists shortly before election day, which he claimed were based on information provided by the Prime Minister's office to the police. He described the arrests and searches as "delusional" and "illegal," asserting that the goal was not to secure indictments but to achieve another objective. This statement followed a clarification from the Central Elections Committee that no evidence of election result manipulation was found, though the Shin Bet continues to investigate suspicions of foreign funding aimed at influencing the vote. Zini, however, stated that there is no concern about the overall election results being compromised.

Drucker also commented on the upcoming coalition negotiations, suggesting they would be more effective after the new government is sworn in and a specific individual, referred to as "Izankot," takes office. He believes this timing would empower Arab parties, create leverage against ultra-Orthodox parties, and facilitate the swift appointment of new Shin Bet and police chiefs. Drucker identified the replacement of these two security leaders as a primary objective for the incoming government.
