MK Efrat Rayten (Democrats) called on Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara and Police Commissioner Danny Levi to take action against National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir's allegedly illegal use of uniformed police officers, detention facilities, and police vessels as backdrops for his election campaign videos, according to N12.
MK Efrat Rayten (Democrats) on Sunday asked Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara and Police Commissioner Danny Levi to launch an investigation and take action against what she alleges is the illegal use of police resources by National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir for his election campaign. According to N12, Rayten's letter says Ben-Gvir has used uniformed officers, detention facilities, and police vessels as props in campaign videos in a blatant violation of legal provisions that bar the exploitation of state assets for political purposes.
The request adds to a broader political controversy surrounding Ben-Gvir's conduct at the National Security Ministry, which has drawn criticism from opposition figures and some journalists in recent weeks over alleged politicization of police operations. The Attorney General has not yet publicly responded to the letter.
