The commission's letter to the Minister of Absorption states that the police officer's absorption as a civil service employee is not on the agenda.

The Civil Service Regulations (Civil Service Regulations) and the procedure for examining the suitability of a candidate for a position in the civil service explain in great detail all the considerations that must be taken into account when considering the candidacy of a particular candidate, including a candidate with a criminal or disciplinary background, including a candidate. And stands in his case, "the commission's letter read.

The commission stressed that the police officer should not be accepted for a position in the civil service, not even by way of questioning or annexation and stressed that "the civil service will continue to establish high value norms and public responsibility at his feet."

As mentioned, on Thursday last week, the Hof District Police Commander who took office this week, Superintendent Yoram Sofer, ordered the return of the officer accused of negligently causing the death of the boy Salomon Teka about a year and a half ago, and informed him of his decision.

The next day, Commissioner Saturn reversed his decision after meeting with the Taka family. Commissioner Saturn decided not to return the officer to the police force, and he announced that the officer would serve in the fire and rescue system until the end of the legal proceedings against him. 

Last week, Rabbi Yaakov Shabtai met with the family of the late Salomon Taka, with the Deputy Minister of Internal Security, Mr. Gadi Yabarkan, and the family's attorney, Mr. Zion Amir. He said at the meeting: "This is an unfortunate and tragic event and I share the family's grief over their loss. .

Since the case, the officer has been on forced leave and his trial is currently underway.

"I considered and seriously considered the decision to return him to active service in the organization and found it appropriate to attach him at this stage to the fire and rescue system and return him to activity in this framework until the end of the pending legal proceedings."

As you may recall, the incident that ignited a great deal of anger among members of the Ethiopian community in many places in the country, took place on June 30, 2019 near a municipal park in Haifa.

The indictment states that the police officer negligently caused the death of the late Taka. According to the facts of the indictment, his negligence was mainly manifested in the fact that he fired at the asphalt, and did not content himself with warning shots in the air to neutralize the danger he faced.

The decision took into account the fact that the officer was at the scene with his family, was attacked with stones by Teka and other boys and was even injured in the incident - before using his gun.

However, in all the circumstances it was found that there was room to prosecute him, since the police orders and police procedures do not allow firing at the ground, in the circumstances and in the manner in which the officer acted.
