Who Filed the Petition

Nir Jambar served as deputy commander of the HaAmakim Subdistrict in the police’s Northern District. He filed an administrative petition against Israel Police Commissioner Dani Levi, claiming that he was subjected to discriminatory treatment compared with other senior officers who underwent similar investigations.

What Triggered the Dispute

Jambar was suspected of maintaining improper ties with criminals as part of a corruption case involving the Nazareth Municipality. The proceedings against him were closed for insufficient evidence, but it was decided to keep him on compulsory leave.

Whose Situation the Officer Compares With His Own

In the same case, the commander of Lahav 433, Nitzav Mani Binyamin, was also questioned. According to the source, the proceedings concerning him are still ongoing, but the commissioner ordered that he be reinstated in his previous position. Jambar believes that the difference in treatment constitutes prohibited discrimination.

No Judicial Decision Has Yet Been Issued

The report did not specify the court, case number, date the petition was filed, or the applicable legal provisions. It also does not include the commissioner’s position and does not indicate that any judicial decision has been issued on the merits of the claims.

What this means for you

The petition raises the issue of consistency in police human-resources decisions concerning personnel who have been investigated. For employees of public bodies, a dispute of this kind illustrates that differences in suspension and reinstatement may be subject to judicial review, although the source has not yet reported the outcome of the proceedings.
