Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir has launched a scathing attack on the head of the Investigations and Intelligence Department, Superintendent Boaz Balt. The criticism stems from reports that Balt allegedly blocked the transfer of investigation materials to the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) as part of an inquiry into suspected election manipulation. Ben-Gvir accused Balt in an interview with 103FM of acting "on behalf of the Attorney General." He further alleged that Balt is "the Attorney General's agent for closing cases, for cover-ups and sweeping things under the rug. He is a fraud, a liar."
The minister also targeted Police Commissioner Dany Levy, claiming that Levy's shifting positions are a result of pressure from the Attorney General. "She pressures him, she screams at him in meetings. He receives shouts from her," Ben-Gvir stated, referring to the Attorney General.
