Israel's attorney-general warned the High Court of Justice that National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir is exerting political influence over the Israel Police. The Attorney-General’s Office stated that substantial gaps persist on the core principle of police independence from ministerial direction.
The update from the office noted ongoing concerns that the force, which is meant to operate free of political pressure, faces interference through Ben-Gvir's actions.
Ben-Gvir, who leads the Otzma Yehudit party, addressed reporters at the Knesset in Jerusalem on June 22. “There remain gaps - significant gaps - concerning the core principle of police independence from ministerial influence,” the Attorney-General’s Office said in its filing to the court.
