AG sends letter to Netanyahu urging him to reconsider Ben-Gvir as national security minister

Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara sent a letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asking him to reconsider his position on National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir’s tenure, the office of the attorney general announced Thursday evening. 

“The combination of the alleged improper interventions in police activities and the dependency of police officers on the minister for their advancement undermines the ability to ensure that the police act in loyalty to the public, rather than to the political echelon,” the office stated as their reasoning.
