Israel Police Deputy Commissioner Danny Kribo announces he will be retiring from the force, reportedly due to frustration at having been pushed aside over the management of the police budget.
According to a report by Channel 12, Kribo, who served as the head of the police planning department, was frustrated by the fact that Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai transferred authority over the budget from Kribo to Deputy Inspector General Avishai Peled, despite the fact that responsibility for the budget has been with the planning department for many years.
“After a term of two and a half years in a demanding position full of meaningful work, and 32 years in the Civil Service, I have reached a sense of accomplishment, along with a deep sense of satisfaction,” says Kribo.
Kribo’s resignation comes as efforts are being made by National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and Shabtai to replace another senior officer, Tel Aviv Commander Ami Eshed, over what Ben Gvir sees as his overly moderate approach to the anti-judicial overhaul protests.
