National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir directed a personal message to Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara on Monday, responding to her petition to the High Court. In a statement reported by N12, he said: 'Gali, I don't see you from up high. You will continue trying to topple the right-wing government and we will continue working and, with God's help, we will win.'
The Zioneer reported at 09:38 that Ben Gvir sent a message to the attorney general in response to her petition to the High Court. Minutes later, N12 published a fuller quote from the statement, adding the personal address 'Gali, I don't see you from up high.'
The attorney general had petitioned the High Court earlier Monday morning, arguing that Ben Gvir continues to allegedly interfere in police operations despite a court order, and that efforts to reach an agreement with him had failed. The court has not yet ruled on the petition.
The exchange is the latest escalation in a long-running confrontation between Ben Gvir and Baharav-Miara, with the two sides trading accusations over judicial reform, police independence, and the limits of ministerial authority. The Zioneer has previously covered several rounds of this dispute, including the AG's warnings and Ben Gvir's defiant responses.
