Israel Prisons Service Commissioner Katy Perry slams National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir after the ultranationalist leader announced he would not extend her term as the country’s chief warden.

“An unsurprising decision by an irresponsible minister that combines unfounded and baseless claims, a detachment from reality and childishness that show his lack of understanding of the prisons service,” Perry says in a statement.
