Well then, since it's impossible to fire this government hack, Israel is free to stay and pretend all is good. That ought to work out really well for Israel.☺

The governor can removed him under state law. Not sure the circumstances but there is a letter from 74 members of the state legislature asking Governor Scott to exercise that authority.

Oh yes, the sheriff can be fired. It’s Florida law.

80 or so Florida republican state legislatures led by the speaker of the house have petitioned Gov. Rick Scott for his removal.

Gov. Scott removed a county sheriff from office a few years ago and replaced him with an interim sheriff.

It’s in the rest of the article.

Wrong, the Governor of Florida has authority to remove a Sheriff from office, even though they are elected.

“Can’t fire him because he’s an elected official.”

True, but under Florida Law, the Governor can suspend him, which amounts to the same thing. He’s going, one way or another.
