Sohlberg allows Ben-Gvir to attend police event despite election campaigning concerns
The event at hand is an appreciation event for Israel Police volunteers and members of police emergency squads. It is officially planned to mark 50 years of the police volunteer system.
Assessment
The High Court Justice's decision to let Ben-Gvir attend the police volunteer anniversary event, despite concerns it could double as campaign activity, tests the boundary between official duties and political campaigning. The event itself is a milestone for the police volunteer system, but the optics of a minister campaigning at a law enforcement celebration raise questions about the separation of powers during an election period. Watch for how this precedent affects future event attendance by candidates.
