There are increasing chances that Public Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir will not extend the term of Police Commissioner Rabbi Kobi Shabtai by another year, according to senior police and national security ministry officials.
Those close to Ben-Gvir accuse: "The police commissioner has failed in his job, instead of concentrating on eradicating crime in general and Arab society in particular and on other challenges, he is busy promoting his friends in the police with whom he grills to positions for which they are not suitable."
