US EditionPolice Officials Criticized for Attending Ben-Gvir's Birthday Party
- On Saturday night, senior officers from the Israel Police and Israel Prison Service attended National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir's 50th birthday party at Villa Space in Moshav Emunim.
- Police Commissioner Danny Levy authorized only the 27 members of the national general command staff to attend, reasoning their seniority meant attendance would not influence future leadership appointments.
- Attendees included Jerusalem District Commander Avshalom Peled and Prison Service Commissioner Kobi Yaakobi; during the event, Ayala Ben-Gvir presented a cake featuring a noose referencing the death penalty for Palestinian detainees.
- Former prime minister Naftali Bennett and Democrats chairman Yair Golan denounced the event, while The Abraham Initiatives noted the celebration occurred as murder rates within Arab society reached record highs.
- Critics argued the presence of commanders at a politically charged event undermines the police force's duty of loyalty to the state, questioning whether flattery to Ben-Gvir now supersedes public security missions.
