Avi Naim, the chair of the defense committee for local communities, is praising the new choice for police commissioner. The candidate is the deputy director of the General Security Service (GSS, also known as the Shabak or Shin Bet) and is only known as R.
"I congratulate Minister [for Public Security] Erdan's great choice," Naim told ArutzSheva. "R. is a senior member of GSS and was even a candidate for the GSS head. He has extensive operational experience going back decades. He is a field man and creative thinker. I am convinced that R. will bring about the needed changes in the Israel Police and will rehabilitate its image and abilities beyond recognition."
