Herzog urges PM to appoint female top cop

Opposition leader Isaac Herzog urges Netanyahu to appoint a woman as Israel’s next police commissioner.

“Netanyahu said during elections, ‘If it were up to me, I would see to it that there would be a female police commissioner,'” wrote Herzog in a Facebook post.

“I have news for you, Mr. Prime Minister, it is indeed up to you. I call on the prime minister and public security minister to fulfill their election promise and appoint a woman to the important role of the Israel Police commissioner. This is an opportunity for a worthy appointment who will revamp the police and set a historical precedent for the shattering of the glass ceiling for women in Israel.”
