Israel’s incoming Police Commissioner, Daniel Levi, is under fire after N12 exposed homophobic remarks from earlier this year on Sunday. Levi, who was serving as Coastal District commander at the time, was recorded saying, “I can’t stand seeing two guys walking hand in hand on the street; it’s disgusting.” His comments have ignited a wave of public outcry, especially from LGBTQ+ advocacy groups. During the conversation, Levi also confronted a visitor at a meeting, commenting, “What are these tight pants? Don’t tell me you’re part of the community now.” When the visitor clarified that he was not part of the LGBTQ+ community, Levi responded, “Are you sure? Not that I care; I have nothing personal against them, but it disgusts me.”
