Subheadline: Political officials raise concerns over Ben Gabir’s handling of security issues
Date: [Insert Date]
In a recent studio tour, Itamar Ben Gabir, known for his audacious statements, made inflated claims regarding his achievements and the performance of the previous government. Ben Gabir’s tour, which aimed to showcase his accomplishments, has faced criticism from political officials and experts who have debunked his claims.
One of the key points of contention is Ben Gabir’s repeated mention of bringing in 9 billion shekels, which he claims is an additional budget for the Ministry of National Security. However, experts have pointed out that this amount is for a two-year period, and the police budget is a separate entity from the Ministry of National Security. Furthermore, only an addition to the budget base can be considered a real addition, while other additions are temporary and do not provide long-term solutions.
Another issue that has raised eyebrows is Ben Gabir’s sudden endorsement of the Shin Bet, the General Security Service. The politician, who has previously criticized and slandered the organization, is now calling for their involvement in tackling security issues. This change in stance has been seen by some as opportunistic and insincere.
Moreover, concerns have been raised over a potential investigation into the use of spy tools, such as Pegasus. While Ben Gabir and his supporters argue that an inquiry is necessary, the Shin Bet and other bodies have expressed opposition. They believe that returning these tools to the police is a priority, as it would allow them to effectively combat crime. The potential investigation poses a risk of exposing strategic tools to enemies and causing strategic damage to the country.
Critics also argue that there is a conflict of interest in conducting an investigation into the police methods, considering that the government is headed by a person accused of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust. This conflict of interest raises concerns about the integrity and impartiality of such an investigation.
Overall, Ben Gabir’s latest tour and his claims have been met with skepticism and criticism from various quarters. Experts and officials have pointed out inconsistencies and flaws in his arguments, highlighting the need for a more nuanced approach to security issues and budget allocations.
