Israel's Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, has petitioned the High Court of Justice (Bagatz) to revoke a restraining order that prevents him from interfering in protests. Ben-Gvir claims that Police Commissioner Dany Levy instructed officers to use "severe and increased violence" against Haredi demonstrators, allegedly stating, "I want to see blood."
