Former national security minister Itamar Ben Gvir’s close aide and ex-chief of staff Chanamel Dorfman arrives at the Department of Internal Police Investigations (DIPI) amid the agency’s ongoing probe of a senior West Bank police commander.
Commander Avishai Muallem, the central suspect in the investigation, whom the DIPI suspects faked investigations into settler attacks to please Ben Gvir and earn a possible promotion, arrived at the unit for questioning this morning.
The DIPI has also summoned former Religious Zionism MK Zvi Sukkot and West Bank District Commander Moshe Pinchi, who was Ben Gvir’s former security affairs secretary.
