Last week, 50 officers were appointed to the rank of deputy commissioner, but they cannot assume their positions due to the minister's refusal.

The confrontation between Police Commissioner Danny Levy and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir is intensifying. According to a first publication by i24NEWS commentator Moshe Steinmetz, the commissioner intends to hold a placement discussion for additional officers in the coming days, despite the minister's refusal to sign off on appointments until after the elections. Last week, Levy and the command staff appointed 50 officers to the rank of deputy commissioner, but the minister announced he would not sign the appointments, so the selected officers will not be able to assume their positions and will wait until after the elections. The move is seen as an escalation by the commissioner in the ongoing crisis with the minister, who has already frozen police appointments. The article reports on preparations in the police to hold the discussion, according to police sources.
