Ben Gvir: Top officials probing classified leak are ‘three people of the deep state that are crossing every line’
National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir lashes out at top law enforcement officials for their ongoing investigation into a classified leak by a Shin Bet official.
Ben Gvir calls Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar, Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, and Department of Internal Police Investigations head Keren Ben Menachem “three people of the deep state that are crossing every line.”
After the report aired that the Shin Bet has conducted a covert probe into the possible infiltration of extreme-right elements into the Israel Police following suspected political meddling in the force by the office of the national security minister, Ben Gvir called the development an “earthquake” that he said justified the government’s move to dismiss Bar.
