The ombudsman did not reject the new appointments in the police, the commissioner was absent from the ceremony

by time news

Against the background of the tensions between the designated Minister of Internal Security, Itamar Ben Gvir, and the Commissioner of Police, R.N. Yaakov Shabtai, and in view of the fact that MK Ben Gvir yesterday thwarted any attempt to establish contact between the parties, as was published yesterday in Maariv, there are those who escaped today (Thursday ) for the help of the commissioner and prevents him from participating in the ceremony for the promotion of officers, in accordance with the decision of the outgoing minister Bar Lev, which took place at noon.

Ben Gvir does not answer Shabtai: the crisis between the designated Minister of National Security and the Commissioner is worsening
Ben Gvir will refuse to cooperate with the Commissioner? “Trust me they will work together, a little patience”

This morning, it was explained to Maariv, the commissioner received a phone call in the hall from his doctor in Assaf Harofeh, who summoned him to perform an urgent MRI examination due to a medical problem. Because of this, the commissioner was absent from the ceremony, according to the police, when after the examination was over he went on to the funeral of his cousin who died after fight cancer

We will emphasize that in recent days there was someone who drove a wedge between the Commissioner and the incoming Minister of Internal Security. As I recall, MK Ben Gabir claimed that attempts are being made under his nose during the transitional government to carry out hijackings under the guise of urgent promotion or appointment of officers.

On the other hand, the commissioner’s position was heard according to which his commitment to the incoming minister not to make promotions remains in place and that all the approvals that Bar Lev apparently signed were placed on his desk three months ago. The two in the last day.

Now it turns out, as mentioned, that “urgent medical action” can be a trigger for reconciliation between the two hawks – Ben Gabir and Renaz Shabtai. The fact that the Commissioner announced that he would be absent from the ceremony may set the outgoing Minister Bar Lev against him, but it may certainly, on the other hand, be a channel for negotiations with the incoming minister, although this absence does not stop the appointments.
