Ben Gvir accuses attorney general of blackmailing police commissioner over building violations

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir accused Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara of blackmailing Police Commissioner Danny Levy over building violations at Levy's home, and called a senior police official a liar. Police declined to comment.

National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir claimed in an interview on Radio 103fm that Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara is blackmailing and threatening Police Commissioner Danny Levy over building violations he committed at his home. According to Ben Gvir, Levy changed his policy by 180 degrees after a year and a half due to pressure from Baharav-Miara. The minister hinted that police spokesman, Deputy Commissioner Aryeh Doron, is connected to the affair, as he previously served as a building inspector. Ben Gvir called on the public to search Google for "building violations of the police commissioner" to see who the building inspectors of his home were. The article notes that there were weeks of clashes and a rift between Ben Gvir and the commissioner, and that contacts between them resumed only at the end of September.
