DeSantis removed Israel from office in 2019, nearly a year after the February 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
DeSantis appointed Gregory Tony to take over the Broward Sheriff's Office.
Israel ran to try to get his job back in the 2020 Democratic primary but lost to Tony, who went on to win the general election.
