Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir sharply criticized Police Commissioner Dani Levy on Tuesday, following the police's dispersal of a Haredi protest on Highway 4 near Bnei Brak, which resulted in several injuries.

The minister described "hallucinatory images" from the Geha interchange as part of Levy's "new agenda to curry favor with leftists."
