Assistant Commissioner Yoav Telem, aged 51, has made the bold decision to resign from his position before even taking on the role of heading the Arab crime unit. This surprising move comes as part of a larger wave of resignations that have occurred following the appointment of a police commissioner handpicked by controversial figure Ben Gvir.
One of Telem’s most notable achievements during his time with the police was serving as the lead investigator in a high-profile fraud case involving former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. His departure from the force is sure to have a significant impact on ongoing investigations and future operations.
Telem’s decision to step down adds yet another layer of intrigue to the already tumultuous political landscape in Israel. It remains to be seen what consequences his resignation will have on the police force and the broader implications it may have on the country as a whole.
