He added: "I must say that in the past year and a half, the police changed its face, we added nine billion shekels to the National Security Ministry, and after that, we got another billion. We raised the officers' salaries and we stopped the wave of resignations. We invested millions of shekels into technological tools for the police. On October 7th we saw that the police saved Israeli citizens and worked most properly. The most important thing is that the officers receive full backing and support. "Dani comes with a Zionist and Jewish agenda, and he will lead the police with the policy that I laid out for him, to strengthen police stations, create the National Guard, and most importantly to strengthen Israel's governance and sovereignty," Ben-Gvir concluded.
