Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara informed the High Court of Justice, according to i24NEWS, that National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir is allegedly continuing to interfere in police operations, contrary to a court order. She stated that efforts to reach an agreement with him have failed, with significant gaps remaining.
A new report from i24NEWS this Monday morning confirms the Attorney General’s statement to the High Court that efforts to resolve the dispute with National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir over his involvement in police operations have failed. The report, coming shortly after earlier coverage by N12 (Amit Segal), states that Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara alleges Ben Gvir continues to interfere in police work despite a court order, and that the High Court is now expected to address the matter.
Earlier Monday at 09:26 Jerusalem, multiple reports from N12 detailed the Attorney General’s notification to the High Court. The thread of coverage shows that the initial report (version 1) stated the talks had failed and Ben Gvir was still violating the court ruling. A subsequent version (version 2) added that the Attorney General cited “significant gaps” and ongoing conduct. By version 3, the Attorney General’s office had formally called for judicial intervention, and version 4 summarized the failure of mediation efforts with Ben Gvir.
As The Zioneer reported at 09:38 Jerusalem (background), the Attorney General’s office told the High Court that the talks failed and that Ben Gvir’s conduct harming police independence continues. This background item reinforces the information now confirmed by a second news outlet.
What remains open: the High Court has not yet issued a ruling or schedule for a hearing. Minister Ben Gvir’s response to the Attorney General’s allegations has not been reported as of this bulletin.
