National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir said Wednesday that the State Prosecutor's Office is a body of 'criminals who frame cases' and is attempting to carry out a coup against democratic rule in Israel.
National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir on Wednesday leveled a sharp accusation against the State Prosecutor's Office, calling it a 'body of criminals who frame cases' and alleging it is attempting to overthrow the democratic government. The remarks, made public Wednesday afternoon, add to a pattern of attacks on the legal system by the minister. In a previous statement on June 29, Ben Gvir said that no amount of effort by the 'deep state' can fabricate cases or topple a sitting prime minister in a democratic state, as The Zioneer reported at the time. The latest comments come amid ongoing political tension surrounding legal proceedings against coalition figures.
