Minister Arden has appealed to the Judiciary: Check the possibility of appointing a commissioner for a transitional government
Editing: Asaf DruryMinister of Internal Security Gilad Arden has recently approached Attorney General Avihai Mandelblit to look into the possibility of appointing a Police Commissioner and IPS Commissioner in the transition government. Arden explained: "In the past, I decided not to bring the candidates to the government in view of the dissolution of the Knesset, and expect that a new government will be formed following the elections. However, given the significant circumstances and the continuation of the election period and embarking on another election campaign, there is also no certainty that a government will emerge. For a permanent term. "
As directed by the Attorney General regarding appointments by ministers or the government during an election period, such appointments should be avoided as much as possible. This is even more emphasized when it comes to appointing senior office holders who do without a tendering procedure or a finding committee - including the police commissioner. "As a general rule," guidance says, "permanent appointments for these positions should be avoided."
