National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir plans to attend the "Next" show at Ramat Gan Stadium this evening (Thursday), a closed event of the police funds intended for approximately 10 to 15 thousand police officers and their families. Ben Gvir's intention to speak to the audience is sparking a wave of protest among officers and police personnel, as revealed by journalist Ben Caspit on X. The protesting officers claim they paid hundreds of shekels per ticket for a cultural and musical event, not for a "house party" or an election rally. They emphasize that they have no desire to mix politics into the event, especially on election eve. Some protesters also note the fact that Ben Gvir is holding police appointments hostage, delaying budgets, and using his powers to intimidate the police. An attempt to get a response from the police or the commissioner's office failed.
