Ben-Gvir out as Israeli Minister of National Security by June 30?

National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir criticized the IDF’s decision to punish a soldier who wore a “Messiah” patch on his uniform, arguing that the move was excessive and damaging to morale. •

National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir sent a letter to Deputy Attorney-General Gil Limon demanding an immediate discussion to advance expelling illegal immigrants in southern Tel Aviv, as well as other parts of the country, Maariv reported on Sunday. • •

Previous police regulations called for disciplinary action against officers who attended Ben Gvir's party

*Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir:* Strongly condemns the despicable behavior of a handful of anarchists from the extreme ultra-Orthodox faction who broke into the home of the commander of the military police. Freedom of expression is not freedom of anarchy. I have full confidence in the police who will bring the lawbreakers to justice.

Dvir Jabra MK Rabbi Gilad Kariv: "The Commissioner-General needs to lay down the keys" "Ten murdered a week. A hundred since the beginning of the year." Serious murder cases in Petah Tikva and Be'er Sheva involving minors. Stabbings in north Tel Aviv. Meanwhile, the Israeli police are busy cutting off kippahs and confiscating flags. This reality can no longer be tolerated and it cannot be embellished. The police commissioner has failed in his duty, perhaps more than any commissioner before him, and he must lay down the keys. "And the minister? Every day he's not fired, Netanyahu's hands get filled with more blood."

The Israel Police is currently in a real state of emergency. And not just because of the wave of violence. Because of a lack of internal control within the organization itself. The examples from recent days indicate a complete breakdown of organizational discipline. Just yesterday, @JoshBreiner revealed that the head of the Central District Investigations Division allowed himself to lash out at Yair Golan in a Facebook response. Evidence of officers who feel free to express themselves politically without fear. A week ago I published how a disciplinary committee in the Southern District is praising Mordechai David and expressing public support for Bashar Ben Gvir. And worst of all: According to the publication by @RavivDrucker, an officer with the rank of lieutenant colonel addressed Minister Ben-Gvir in a direct message and wrote to him: "In an interview with you, you told me that within six months to a year I would receive a rank on my shoulder. As someone who serves under your command, I believe that you keep your promises." The bottom line is clear: the police commissioner has lost control. He has lost control of the streets, he has lost control of the rampant wave of murders, and, just as bad, he has lost control of his subordinates. All three were supposed to begin firing proceedings. That didn't happen.
