Justice Minister Yariv Levin hits back after Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara warns the government against unduly intervening in the police response to anti-government protests.

Levin says Baharav-Miara is “ignoring the ongoing and unprecedented violation of the basic rights of millions of citizens to get safely to work, to the hospital, to freely access the airport, etc.”

The minister also adds that the attorney-general is ignoring the “dangerous selective enforcement” against different types of protests, citing “draconian” measures used against opponents of the Gaza disengagement as well as Haredi and Arab protesters.
