National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir launched a sharp political attack on Shas leader Aryeh Deri, criticizing him for failing to push for the dismissal of Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara. According to Ben Gvir, as reported by N12, he had demanded her firing since the government's formation, accusing her of persecuting Haredim and protecting the Kaplan protests. He said Deri and his allies believed their approach of flattery would work, but it backfired and cost the Haredi public. The remarks reflect ongoing coalition tensions over the attorney general's role and the government's judicial policy.
