Against the backdrop of National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir delaying the promotion of Chief Inspector Rinat Saban, who testified in the Alpim cases, former senior police officials from the "Commanders for the Protection of Police and Democracy" group, including former police commissioners, stated they are "concerned about his attempt to complete his takeover of the police. Including her testimony in his justifications demonstrates the connection between politics and police. His conduct is an attempt to discourage investigators and intimidate officers who are expected to testify." They noted that "Saban's appointment must be carried out immediately. The minister is harming not only her but also the organizational order and force building. He is not qualified to serve as minister, we call on the Supreme Court to remove him from his position."
