Homeland Security Minister Amir Ohana responded today (Friday) on his Facebook account to disagreements over the appointment of Kobi Shabtai as acting commissioner and Gondar Katie Perry as acting commissioner of the Prisons Service.

In a post he posted on his Facebook account, Ohana wrote that “Nissenkorn may have deceived Ganz – but I knew him; we will not give in to the irrelevant demands of Blue and White. For two years now there has been no commissioner. In Article 3d of the coalition agreement, it was agreed and signed that both parties would establish a discussion team in the manner in which the senior appointments brought for government approval would be made.

“Immediately after the formation of the government, I personally approached the former Minister of Justice, Avi Nissenkorn, to set up the team. Also in the appointment of the Commissioner.

I told him that I had approached Avi Nissenkorn with the issue of team building and that the team had not yet been formed, which is what prevented the appointment of a permanent commissioner – and that I would be very happy if he would speed up the team. To locate my candidates for the position of Commissioner of Police of Israel and Commissioner of Prisons. I met with all the officers in the police force and all the Gondars who serve in the IPS, and I also met former commanders. I came to the conclusion that it is better to appoint, if possible, commanders from the organizations, with professional backgrounds and command experience that will allow a better starting point.

And after all this, and since the High Court gave permission for Blue and White to violate an agreement they signed, I announced my candidacy for the position of heads of organizations: From the current alternate.The committee requested and received all the materials, and finally made a decision that both appointments were proper.

“The person who had to approve the raising of the issue on the agenda of the government was my son, as the private government has done since its inception (any raising of an issue on the agenda required the approval of both sides of the government), and he refrained from doing so. For months, Gantz and his people have been calling for the appointment of a permanent commissioner, as well as the president, the Supreme Court, the Retired Superintendents’ Club and who do not. Now that there are two good candidates from the organizations, approved by all relevant bodies And as a milkman, they prevent this because they want to appoint ambassadors and officials. This is what it looks like, when “Israel is first and foremost.”
Earlier today, the government approved the appointment of Saturn and Gondar Perry. The temporary appointments will be valid from today until June 30, 2021 or until a permanent appointment, whichever is earlier. Senior officials attacked Saturn’s non-appointment as permanent commissioner, telling Israel Today that a commissioner must be appointed immediately: “The organization is in a difficult situation, and further negotiations for an unknown period of time are a fatal blow to the police and the rule of law. Put politics aside and work for the good of the country. “

In response to the allegations, officials in blue and white accused Prime Minister Netanyahu of “stabbing the country and not ready to convene a cabinet meeting to approve 60 appointments that include 30 ambassadors and various other positions.”
