National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir’s director general Shlomo Ben Eliyahu resigns citing “personal reasons.”

Ben Gvir thanks Ben Eliyahu for “his contribution to the security of the country.”

However, the Ynet news site says that Ben Eliyahu was fed up with the far-right minister only worried about making headlines at the expense of officials in the police and the prison service.
