Ben Gvir Approved Promotion of Police Officer After She Petitioned the Court

National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir approved the promotion of police officer Reut Rosenberg to the rank of deputy commander. The decision came after a delay of about a year, following which Rosenberg filed a petition with the Jerusalem District Court.

Key facts

•Officer: Reut Rosenberg
•New rank: deputy commander
•The decision was made on September 2, 2026
•The delay lasted about a year
•The petition was filed with the Jerusalem District Court

What Happened

According to a report published by Haaretz, on September 2, 2026, Ben Gvir approved Reut Rosenberg’s promotion to the rank of deputy commander in the police. Before that, the minister had refrained for about a year from approving her promotion.

Turning to the Court

Because of the lengthy approval process, Rosenberg filed a petition with the Jerusalem District Court. According to the source, no reasons for the delay were given during this period.

What Is Known About the Decision

The published report did not state the case number, the date on which the petition was filed, or the full relief sought by the petitioner. The source also does not indicate whether the court issued a decision or the legal basis on which the minister relied in ultimately approving the promotion.

What this means for you

The story shows that a prolonged failure to decide on a promotion in the service may be grounds for recourse to an administrative affairs court. However, it cannot be concluded from the source that the petition legally compelled the minister to approve the promotion or that the court formulated a general rule for similar cases.
