MK Yoav Kisch (Likud), chair of the Knesset’s Internal Affairs and Environment Committee, appealed to the prime minister on Wednesday to cancel the committee for appointing senior officials, whose discussions are secret, and in its place to conduct an open public hearing in the Knesset.

"Every candidate undergoes a legal review by the attorney general, so there is no need for a further legal examination. If it is approved, I intend to hold an open hearing in the Knesset Internal Affairs Committee with the candidate for the post of police commissioner," said Kisch.
