Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir has made unusual statements accusing the Attorney General, Gali Baharav-Miara, of pressuring Police Commissioner Dani Levy. In an interview on 103fm, Ben-Gvir claimed the Attorney General "pressures him, she screams at him in meetings," causing Levy to change his stance significantly. Ben-Gvir suggested searching online for "building violations of the Police Commissioner" to understand the situation, implying the Attorney General used this information to exert influence.
Ben-Gvir also criticized Arie Doron, head of the Police Spokesperson Unit, and stated that if Levy had shared information about building violations with him, he would have advised Levy against such actions, especially for a public figure. Ben-Gvir concluded that there were attempts at interference, mentioning 100 million shekels transferred from Qatar and alleged material transfers to the Joint List in prisons.
These remarks follow a prolonged dispute between Ben-Gvir and Commissioner Levy, which intensified after a violent ultra-Orthodox protest in Bnei Brak. Following that incident, Ben-Gvir accused Levy of selective enforcement and of ordering excessive force beforehand.
