Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan told the media that reports he has begun searching for a new police chief, to replace Roni Alshich, whose term ends in December 2018. Erdan was responding to reports that he has already decided not to extend the term of Police Chief Roni Alshich, whose term ends in December 2018. It was reported by Maariv Online that Alshich has already begun the search for his replacement.

Erdan said, “Because of the erroneous reports, I make it clear and emphasize again, I did not deal at all during the tenure of the commissioner, and there is still no position on the matter, on the contrary, I have made it very clear that it is not yet time to deal with it.”
