Police Chief Defies Ben-Gvir on Judea & Samaria Handover

Israel Police Commissioner Danny Levi ordered his officers to freeze coordination with the IDF on transferring enforcement powers in Judea and Samaria—directly contradicting National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir's policy. In a closed meeting, Levi attacked the local Israelis as "extremists damaging Israel's image," drawing fire from within his own ranks.
