Police produce video for Ben Gvir’s party in which top cop praises the far-right leader
National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir’s Otzma Yehudit party has shared a video produced by police in which Commissioner Daniel Levy praises the far-right leader, with the force claiming to the Haaretz daily that it did not similarly send out the clip “due to a mistake.”
In the short video, Levy also voices support for officers at an anti-government protest in Jerusalem who were filmed smashing the windows of cars while passengers were inside so they could be towed away.
The release of the video comes after the government ignored the attorney general’s objections by voting this week to reappoint Ben Gvir as national security minister.
