Israel Police has firmly denied reports of internal friction between police chief Danny Levy and top spokesman Aryeh Doron. The force issued a statement asserting that Levy maintains excellent daily working relations with Doron and has complete faith in him. This response follows media claims that Doron was sidelined and stripped of certain responsibilities, which police officials have dismissed as unfounded and misleading. An unnamed official suggested that the reports are part of an attempt by National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir to create discord within the police leadership, amid ongoing disagreements over the promotion of a senior detective who testified in a high-profile corruption trial.
