Police Commissioner Daniel Levy has backed down from the process to dismiss the Israel Police's top legal adviser after the Attorney General deemed it illegal. Levy explained that the move was part of a broader round of appointments that had been put on hold. The clash between the attorney general and Public Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir over the promotion of an officer indicted for throwing a stun grenade at protesters further escalated the situation. The attorney general froze Levy's decision to remove the legal adviser, stating that her approval is required for such appointments or removals.
