‘It’s either her or me’: Ben Gvir signals he’ll demand firing of attorney general

National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir says he may soon issue an ultimatum to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding his ongoing grievances against Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, with whom he has frequently clashed, he tells Israel National News in an interview.

“We’re getting close to the moment when I will have no choice but to issue an ultimatum to Netanyahu,” he says. “It’s either her or me. Only one of us can stay in our jobs. She should have gone home a long time ago.”

Baharav-Miara told Netanyahu on Thursday that he must reevaluate Ben Gvir’s tenure, in light of the far-right lawmaker’s repeated and and ongoing interventions into operational police matters and his politicization of police promotions.

The warning had been expected for some time. Ben Gvir termed the move “an attempted coup,” and called for Baharav-Miara’s firing, as he has done numerous times in the past.
