A senior officer in the Jerusalem district of the police sharply criticized the appointment of Commander Avshalom Peled as district commander replacing the current commander, Amir Arzani, as revealed by ynet. "Jerusalem has fallen, this is nothing but dismissal," said the senior officer about Commander Peled's appointment, who is a close associate of National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir. "Moving Arzani before the month of Ramadan is no less than a threat to national security."
