A committee headed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Justice Minister and current Minister of Public Security Likud MK Amir Ohana has reportedly delayed the publication of a memoir by former Israel Police commissioner Roni Alsheich, who served in the position from 2015 to 2018, according to a KAN news report.
Alsheich's book focuses on his time as police commissioner, which has been sent to the Ministerial Committee on Publications for approval, including passing the censorship process.
The former police commissioner was responsible for gathering evidence which is currently being used in the ongoing corruption trial against Netanyahu. The trial began early on Sunday.
KAN reported that the committee has been delaying approval on the publication of Alsheich's book, with Netanyahu and Ohana both sitting as members. Both Alsheich, and representatives of the Prime Minister and Ohana have not yet commented.
Current Justice Minister, Blue and White MK Avi Nissenkorn, said he was unfamiliar with the issue.
