After trying to push out Tel Aviv District Commander Amichai Eshed, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir claims he failed in his role and that his conduct was “not good.”

He also says he doesn’t know what Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai will say later this evening, and that Shabtai had told him that Eshed was a failed commander.
