The deputies to Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara sent a letter to National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir on Thursday morning demanding he immediately approve the promotions of Chief Superintendent Rot Rosenberg and Deputy Chief Itzik Alfasi. The letter, reported by journalist Berhano Tegenia, states that the minister's conduct "raises concern of consistent abuse of appointment authority."
The dispute over the appointments has been ongoing. Earlier, Deputy Chief Alfasi sent a pre-petition letter to the deputy attorney general and the minister arguing that the decision to block his appointment was based on extraneous considerations. The minister has not yet responded publicly to the latest demand.
