Israel Attorney General Urges High Court to Order Ben-Gvir Dismissal as Police Oversight Minister

Israel's Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara filed a response with the High Court of Justice urging it to order the removal of National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir from his role overseeing Israel Police, citing alleged political interference in police operations. The High Court had previously directed Prime Minister Netanyahu to explain why he had not dismissed Ben-Gvir, with Baharav-Miara noting that "the PM's silence gives backing to his conduct." Despite mounting legal pressure, Netanyahu has vowed the far-right minister will remain in his post, setting up a direct confrontation between the judiciary and the executive during the ongoing conflict.
