Aryeh Amit, a former senior police official, says that attempts by presumed future national security minister Itamar Ben Gvir will mark the end of the police.
“With the things Ben Gvir wants, he will become the police commissioner and the police commissioner will be a doormat — it’s the murder of the police and the murder of democracy,” Amit tells 103FM radio.
“We can’t allow politics to infiltrate the police. It must be completely free from political thoughts,” Amit adds.
