Exclusive: Ben-Gvir adds Hebron Spokesman Yishai Fleisher to election slate
Ben-Gvir places pro-Israel advocate and Hebron spokesman Yishai Fleisher at No. 12 on Otzma Yehudit’s Knesset slate ahead of the upcoming elections.
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has stated that he will not approve appointments of senior police officers until after the upcoming election, which is expected to take place on October 27. In a letter to Police Commissioner Insp.-Gen. Danny Levi, Ben-Gvir argued that advancing appointments at this time could harm public trust, citing restrictions on government activity during an election period.
He maintained that his position is not against the officers but a legal issue concerning conduct during an election period. Ben-Gvir also recalled a previous suggestion by him to advance appointments four months ago, which Levi did not provide with a list of candidates at the time. The minister's stance on the appointments issue has led to a dispute with the police commissioner, with senior officials threatening to petition the High Court of Justice if Ben-Gvir does not sign off on approved appointments.
