Ben Gvir: Trickle of politics into police a dangerous crossing of a line

Holding his own press conference, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir accuses outgoing Tel Aviv police chief Amichai Eshed of “surrendering to the Israeli left.”

He says “the trickle of politics into senior police positions is a dangerous crossing of a line.”

Ben Gvir says the government, of which he is a member, was “elected to bring a change to equality — not to see a police force that behaves differently toward settlers and Haredim and surrenders to leftist activists.”
