chief of Israel’s police intelligence division plans to resign, Israeli media reported on 4 September.
This comes amidst a recent wave of resignations in the Israeli military and security establishment.
“Dep. Ch. Dror Assaraf, head of the police intelligence division, announced to [newly appointed] Police Commissioner Daniel Levi on Wednesday, his intention to step down from his role,” the Jerusalem Post said.
According to Hebrew newspaper Maariv, Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir – who is in charge of the prison system and police – has been blocking the promotion of several officers, including Assaraf. Israeli media reported earlier this year that Israel’s High Court has shown great concern over a law passed in December 2022 which granted Ben Gvir broader power over the police system.
The same Maariv report, released on 4 September, said that the appointment of every new police commissioner is accompanied by a wave of resignations. It adds that some realize they may not get promoted and decide to resign, while others are notified that they should retire.
Assaraf is the fourth to resign from his post in recent days.
