Sohlberg: Netanyahu May Confer with Police Chief, but Not on Election Integrity

Central Elections Committee Chairman Justice Noam Sohlberg ruled that there is no impediment to holding a phone conference between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, and Police Commissioner Dani Levi, provided it does not address election integrity. This was reported by ynet and The Jerusalem Post.

The decision followed a petition by Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar! party demanding the cancellation of the call, citing concerns over potential political pressure on public servants. The Attorney General supported the objection, while Netanyahu contended that the discussion was an essential security consultation prompted by threats. Further details have not yet been released.
