Haaretz journalist Josh Breiner sharply criticized Minister Ben-Gvir on Sunday, responding to the minister's claims that the Attorney General was blackmailing and threatening the Police Commissioner. Breiner suggested Ben-Gvir's statements were a bid for attention following a week-long vacation in Tbilisi and a recent election loss. "He needs something, a headline, anything," Breiner wrote, characterizing the minister as "attention-seeking. Sick. A communication addict." He added that Ben-Gvir "throws things out, maybe something will stick," and that his current statements were merely "the sound of air escaping a balloon."
Earlier, Ben-Gvir had accused the Attorney General of pressuring and threatening the Police Commissioner, stating she halted his policy initiatives after a year and a half. "She pressures him, she yells at him in meetings," Ben-Gvir said, implying the commissioner changed his stance due to her actions. He also urged an investigation into the commissioner's building violations, suggesting the Attorney General's office was involved in pressuring individuals. Ben-Gvir advised public figures to be extremely careful about accepting gifts or engaging in questionable practices, citing his own strict adherence to regulations.
