Israeli Officer Under Scrutiny for Criticizing National Security Minister
(MENAFN) An Israeli police officer is expected to face disciplinary measures after referring to National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir as a “convicted criminal,” according to reports released Saturday.
Findings from an internal police review determined that using the term “convicted criminal” amounted to a “political statement,” despite Ben-Gvir’s legal history, which includes 13 convictions. Among these are offenses such as “supporting a terrorist organization.”
Ben-Gvir has also faced accusations of trying to reshape the police force into what critics describe as a “private militia.” His record includes convictions related to incitement to racism, identification with a terrorist group, promoting materials linked to such organizations, involvement in unauthorized gatherings, participation in riots, and property damage.
In a separate development, Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara had earlier filed a petition with the Supreme Court seeking Ben-Gvir’s removal from his position. The request cited concerns over improper political influence within the police and risks to democratic governance.
The Supreme Court has delayed its consideration of the case, with a hearing now scheduled for April 15.
