Ben-Gvir attacks police brass over handling of election interference probe
According to Ynet, Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has escalated his confrontation with police leadership, labeling Deputy Commissioner Boaz Balat, head of the Police Investigations and Intelligence Division, a 'fraud' and a 'liar.' Ben-Gvir alleges that Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara is exerting pressure on Police Commissioner Danny Levy to obstruct the transfer of information to the Shin Bet regarding an investigation into foreign election interference. The minister also cited unproven allegations regarding potential Qatari funding in the election. The Israel Police declined to respond to the allegations.
