Journalist Eli Hirschman published footage of the Bnei Brak-Ramat Gan Police Station commander, which has fueled a public dispute between National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Police Commissioner Danny Levi, according to Channel 12.
Journalist Eli Hirschman has released the video of Bnei Brak-Ramat Gan Police Station Commander Deputy Superintendent Yuval Shavit, which earlier this week sparked a public rift between National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Police Commissioner Danny Levi. The footage, which first emerged last week during a Haredi protest on Highway 4, appeared to show the commander dragging a protester. Ben-Gvir has since signaled he may seek to remove Shavit from the force, while Commissioner Levi has backed the commander's version of events. Hirschman's publication brings the dispute back into the public eye, though the precise timing and any official reactions to the latest publication are not yet detailed. As The Zioneer reported, the initial video and the subsequent political fallout have highlighted tensions between the political leadership and the police command over handling of protests.
