In an interview with Channel 12, new Police Commissioner Daniel Levy refuses to commit to adhering to the directive issued yesterday by Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara that blocked National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir’s promotion of Israel Police Officer Meir Suissa. She blocked the promotion due to Levy’s indictment last month for throwing a stun grenade that injured several anti-government protesters in March 2023.
