Israel named a new national police chief. Internal Security Minister
Avi Dicther this week said he wants Commander Dudi Cohen, chief of Central
District Police, to take over from Inspector-General Moshe Karadi. The
nomination awaits government approval. Karadi tendered his resignation
in February after being implicated in a corruption scandal that stoked public
calls for a purge of the police’s upper ranks. According to the Israeli media,
Dichter failed in his efforts to woo several retired army generals to
take the top police job.
