Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has sharply criticized Police Inspector General Dani Levy, accusing him of attempting to appease the incoming political leadership. Ben-Gvir's remarks, made in the wake of the recent Israeli elections, stem from his dissatisfaction with the police's handling of events at the "Geha" junction. The minister asserted that Levy's recent actions indicate a desire to gain favor with the next government, specifically aiming to impress Yair Golan, the head of the Democratic Party.
Ben-Gvir linked these accusations to the scenes observed at the "Geha" junction, characterizing Levy's approach as a new tendency to "flatter the leftists." He also expressed anger over Levy's management of protests involving Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) individuals. Ben-Gvir stated that Levy, who had previously complied with his demands for a year and a half, was now acting unlawfully after the elections, alleging that the police were targeting the Haredim and making them "punching bags."
The minister's statements come amid ongoing political tensions and disputes over the police force's performance and its methods of managing protests.
