National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has petitioned the High Court of Justice (Bagatz) to revoke an interim order that prevents him from interfering in police protest management. Ben-Gvir claims Police Commissioner Dany Levy instructed officers to use excessive force, including batons and stun grenades, against Haredi protesters, allegedly stating he "wants to see blood."
