AG to police minister: Present police chief candidate by month’s end

Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit tells Public Security Minister Amir Ohana that he must present a candidate for police commissioner by the end of this month.

He does so days after the High Court of Justice ordered the government to appoint a new permanent police chief, a position that has been filled by a temporary appointment for two years amid ongoing political chaos.

The judges did not give a timeframe for the appointment, but said the injunction must be carried out “at a suitable speed.”
