Israel Police Chief Danny Levy met with Central Elections Committee Chairman Justice Noam Sohlberg at the Knesset to discuss preparations for the elections to Israel’s 26th Knesset. The meeting focused on cooperation between the Israel Police and the Central Elections Committee to help ensure that the electoral process proceeds safely, securely, and in accordance with the law. Levy emphasized the importance of coordination between the two institutions, particularly in maintaining public order while allowing eligible citizens to exercise their democratic right to vote. The preparations are intended to address potential security challenges and ensure that election activities can proceed without unnecessary disruption. The meeting reflects the role of law enforcement in supporting the administration of a national election while protecting voters, polling locations, and the wider public.

Justice Sohlberg thanked Levy and the Israel Police for their extensive preparations and expressed appreciation for the force’s readiness to support the democratic process. Operational planning is being led by Superintendent Eli Pinto, head of the Police Election Administration, who is responsible for coordinating preparations across police units and districts throughout the country. This coordination is designed to establish consistent procedures, facilitate communication between relevant authorities, and ensure that potential incidents can be addressed efficiently. Maintaining public order is a central component of the effort, particularly during a national vote when large numbers of citizens participate in a critical democratic process. As preparations continue, cooperation between election officials and police leadership remains an important part of ensuring that voting can take place in a secure and orderly environment.
