Responding to National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir’s allegation that Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar collected intelligence on Police Commissioner Daniel Levy, Opposition Leader Yair Lapid says, “The National Security Offender who dares to speak like this about the head of the Shin Bet is proof that the Israeli government has lost all its inhibitions.”
In a statement, the former premier says that Ben Gvir’s words “are violent and dangerous incitement” and that “a prime minister in a civilized country would have removed him from office and not crawled to him to come back and save his government.”
