- Ben-Gvir's claims were filed in court regarding a denied spokesperson appointment.
- Superintendent Yitzhak Alfasi petitioned the court after being denied the spokesperson role.
- Ben-Gvir also reported a communication breakdown with the Police Commissioner.
- The minister is seeking private legal representation in the court proceedings.
The legal proceedings were initiated by Superintendent Yitzhak Alfasi, who sought the position of spokesperson for the Investigations and Intelligence Department and Lahav 433, an appointment Ben-Gvir opposed.
Ben-Gvir stated that a compromise was reached with Police Commissioner Dany Levi and then-head of the Police Spokesperson Unit, Brigadier General Lior Abudraham, whereby Alfasi would be promoted but not appointed spokesperson. Ben-Gvir claims Alfasi initially accepted this but later petitioned the court, accusing him of acting in bad faith.
Furthermore, Ben-Gvir attacked the Attorney General's stance on his request for private legal representation, asserting it misrepresents the events and his reasoning. He is seeking court permission for private counsel to fully present his arguments. The minister also noted a recent communication breakdown with the Police Commissioner, stating he cannot relay the Commissioner's response to the Attorney General's office and that they must contact the Commissioner directly.
