Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir stated in an interview that Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara requested his dismissal from the Supreme Court due to his actions supporting the Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) community. Ben-Gvir asserted that Baharav-Miara's actions, including the arrest of yeshiva students, are politically motivated and aimed at harming the right-wing government. He criticized Haredi political representatives for refusing his early-term demand to dismiss the Attorney General, claiming they prioritized their own appointments. Ben-Gvir also addressed criticism from Chief Yosef regarding visits to the Temple Mount, stating he respects rabbinical rulings and follows the guidance of his own rabbis, like Dov Lior and Shmuel Eliyahu. He accused politicians of politicizing religious disputes. Regarding the integration of Haredim into the police and Border Police, Ben-Gvir highlighted efforts to create suitable service conditions and training programs. He urged Haredi voters disappointed with their political representation to vote for him, warning that abstaining or voting for parties below the electoral threshold would benefit the Attorney General. He indicated his desire for the Defense Ministry portfolio and for Tali Gottlieb to head the Justice Ministry, emphasizing the need for clear policy agreements to join any future government.
