Police sources have lost confidence in the Commissioner following the severe violence against Haredi protesters in Beit Shemesh and on Highway 4. The harsh footage from the protests, in which protesters were seen being brutally beaten by police officers, has led to claims that the Commissioner has lost control of the police. Those sources claim that "the Commissioner has completely lost control of the police, everyone does as they please, there is no uniformity, the police are collapsing and the Commissioner is silent." Criticism was also added from the circle of Minister Itamar Ben Gvir towards the person responsible for the police, saying: "We will stop the anarchy occurring at the Haredi protests." The police response has not yet been received.
