The story · English

National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir told Police Commissioner Danny Levy that he is considering using his authority to fire, or permanently bar, police officers who acted unlawfully during last week’s Haredi protests. The announcement concerns officers accused of using violence in the demonstrations.

According to the report, this is the first time Ben Gvir has sought to remove officers over allegations of violence at protests. The article says that such a move had not been taken in protests against the government, nor in cases involving illegal police actions such as unlawful strip searches.

The statement signals possible disciplinary action against officers involved in the unrest, though no specific names or incidents were cited. The focus is on whether Ben Gvir will exercise his power to remove officers from the force permanently or otherwise prevent them from continuing in their positions.
