Senior West Bank cop accused of papering over settler attacks arrives for police questioning

Avishai Muallem, a top West Bank police commander, arrives for questioning at the Department of Internal Police Investigations amid an ongoing probe into the suspicion he faked investigations into settler violence in order to please ex-national security minister Itamar Ben Gvir.
Alongside Muallem, a handful of Ben Gvir associates will also appear before the DIPI today, including his former chief of staff Chanamel Dorfman, former Religious Zionism MK Zvi Sukkot and West Bank District Commander Moshe Pinchi, who was the far-right Otzma Yehudit chief’s former security affairs secretary.
