Halevi associates blame Alsheikh over end of career
Haaretz reports that Jerusalem police chief Yoram Halevi announced he would be leaving the police and should not be considered for the police commissioner role after he was made to understand that he would not be nominated.
The paper quotes associates close to Halevi pointing an accusatory finger at former chief Alsheikh, who they say ran a campaign of character assassination against Halevi to make sure he would not get the job.
According to reports, Alsheikh raised questions over Halevi’s connection to the Netanyahu’s and tried to torpedo his nomination.
According to Haaretz, Halevi will not leave his post until a replacement in in place.
