At 8 p.m., Israel Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai will deliver “a significant announcement,” the force’s spokesman says.
No further details are given on the upcoming statement, which comes after Shabtai faced criticism over far-right National Police Minister Itamar Ben Gvir’s effort to push out Tel Aviv District Commander Amichai Eshed from his post, after criticizing his handling of mass anti-government protests.
