Career
In December 2020, the Minister of Internal Security, Amir Ohana, decided to appoint Perry as the 18th IPS Commissioner.
During her tenure, the Gilboa Prison break happened, and as such Perry faced calls to resign. In July 2023, Perry announced that she would resign in January 2024, following the end of her term.
On 27 December 2023, national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has stated that he will not extend her term despite the war and tension from the coalition. Perry described the decision as an "unsurprising decision by an irresponsible minister”.
