Office of the Minister of Defense Bnei Gantz Addressed the Cabinet Secretariat tonight (Thursday) demanding that the government convene next Sunday for the appointment of a permanent commissioner to the police, even without further agreements on the agenda. “The appointment of a permanent commissioner to the Israel Police at this time is a national need,” Ganz said. “The disputes should be put aside and the appointment approved immediately.”

The meeting that was supposed to take place on Tuesday at which the ministers were supposed to approve the appointment of the commissioner was canceled on Monday evening and since then no new date has been set. Ganz then wrote on his Twitter account: “The Israel Police will not have a permanent commissioner tomorrow. “36 ambassadors will not be appointed in important countries because Netanyahu has decided to cancel the cabinet meeting. It has once again been proven that personal considerations and only they lead Netanyahu. I will do everything to build a strong and great political force that will get Bibi out of Balfour. If the ego goes, Bibi will go. “
Earlier this week, Ganz held a press conference in the village of Maccabiah, in which he called for unification in the center-left bloc and even clarified that in exchange for such a union he would be willing to give up first place. Following the speech, his office sent emails to the party leaders in the bloc – from Avigdor Lieberman to Nitzan Horowitz – and invited them to a meeting, but none of them accepted the invitation. However, senior members of the bloc say that there may be connections ahead of the deadline for submitting the lists to the 24th Knesset, early next month.
