Former Israeli Police Chief Says He Would Have Ejected Minister Ben Gvir from Police HQ

In an interview on the program "Asnaheim" to be aired on Channel 13, former Israeli Police Commissioner Roni Alsheich criticized National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir. Alsheich was asked how he would have reacted if Ben Gvir had entered a police headquarters during his tenure. Alsheich responded that he would have immediately ordered the minister to leave, saying, "Sir, you cannot stay here, you are not allowed to be here." When the interviewer suggested that Ben Gvir might have dismissed him from his position, Alsheich replied, "He would have dismissed me. So what? Sir, please leave, you are harming public trust in the police and the clean work of the force. I ask you to leave the headquarters." This statement highlights the tension between the former police chief and the current minister regarding the minister's presence in police operational centers.
