Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked (Jewish Home) responded to the decision of the Advisory Committee for the Appointment of Senior Officials to disqualify the appointment of Moshe Edri as police commissioner.
"The police commissioner is appointed by the government at the recommendation of the Minister of Public Security and not two members of the Goldberg Committee. The opinion of the other two members of the committee [who approved Edri's appointment] is simple and reasonable," Shaked said.
"It is impossible to appoint a police commissioner as a constraint and not to make the best choice because of the appearance of some meeting. Edri is an outstanding officer. No one is perfect. The government should appoint the most suitable candidate," she added.
