Ex-top cop says officers now given arrest quotas for protests; police: 'Delusional claim'

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : "I hear from officers that they come to a demonstration with a quota of detainees," Alsheich told the Kan public broadcaster, apparently referring to demonstrations against government policy.
54% : "It appears that the minister is using his authority to make appointments and end the tenure of officers in a manner which constitutes illegitimate intervention in the operational running of the police," Baharav-Miara wrote. Baharav-Miara cited numerous acts of intervention by Ben Gvir into police operations, including publicly summoning senior police officials for a dressing down due to his displeasure at their handling of anti-government protests; declaring at a police operations room that he had gone there to ensure the police carried out his directives for handling protests; and a letter by Shabtai that Ben Gvir had instructed senior police officers to disregard cabinet orders regarding the protection of humanitarian aid convoys on their way to Gaza.
54% : "Throughout my years of service in the Israel Police, I have always maintained integrity and acted with loyalty, professionalism, and without political motives," Levy wrote in a letter to the force following the report.
