Israeli AG seeks court order requiring Netanyahu to explain why Ben Gvir has not been dismissed

Peloni:  So desperate is the Deep State in extricating itself from any oversight.  In addition to this,they seek to marginalize any support for Ben Gvir’s faction by labeling him as a criminal as elections are looming.

Israeli Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara asked the High Court of Justice on Thursday evening to require Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to explain why he has not dismissed National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, according to Kan News.

Baharav-Miara wrote, “Minister Ben Gvir is abusing his position to improperly influence the activities of the Israel Police in the most sensitive areas of law enforcement and investigations, thereby harming basic democratic principles.”

She added that “there is no avoiding the conclusion that the public cannot be protected from systematic conduct that undermines police independence, jeopardizing its character as a non-political state institution, along with serious implications for the protection of human rights and the rule of law. This situation results in real harm to basic democratic principles.”

“The government, and the prime minister in particular, bear heightened responsibility to ensure the lawful and independent operation of the police and to prevent improper interference in their work. In practice, the prolonged silence of the government and the prime minister in the face of the minister’s conduct amounts to backing it and legitimizing on the ongoing harm to the foundations of governance.”

In response to the attorney general’s statement, Ben Gvir wrote on ?: “Crook, I don’t care about you.”

Last Thursday, Kan News reported that Baharav-Miara would petition the High Court to rule that Netanyahu must review Ben Gvir’s dismissal. Sources familiar with the details estimated at the time that it was likely the High Court would issue an order on the matter, in light of what appears to be a contradiction between the minister’s promises and his actual interference in police investigations and operational decisions.

If the process moves forward and an order is issued, the High Court is expected to sit with an expanded panel. In the meantime, Netanyahu does not intend to dismiss the minister.

Given that the attorney general is not authorized to order dismissals directly – and the High Court’s standard three-judge panel is not expected to do so – the process would begin with an order that requires Netanyahu to review the matter and explain his position.

  1. ” As a mother of a soldier I must say this.

    The Attorney General Gali Barahav Meara has to go.

    It is the single most important step for Israel’s security.

    Full stop.

    No dancing around it, no polite hesitation.

    An AG whose own son stole a private ceramic vest from a soldier under his command, and then made sure the system covered it up, cannot stand at the moral helm of this country.

    And this wasn’t just any soldier.
    This was a kid who flew in from the US, left his family, his life, his safety, because he believed in us.
    Believed in our mission.
    Believed in the purity of the IDF.
    Believed that we are the country worth fighting for.

    And what did he find?
    That the commander who was supposed to protect him stole private equipment meant to keep him alive.

    Let that sink in.

    It’s bad enough when a soldier steals from another soldier. It’s ugly, it’s shameful, it’s everything the IDF fights against inside its own ranks.

    But when a commander, who is supposed to do everything to protect his soldiers, steals from a soldier and not just any soldier, but a lone soldier who came here out of sheer idealism, that’s not misconduct. That’s betrayal. That’s a moral collapse in uniform.

    And believe me, I feel this personally.

    I work every day with olim. Kids and families who come here with a level of idealism that would break your heart. They come because they believe Israel is different.
    Better.
    Worth giving everything for.

    And as a mother of a soldier this completely breaks my faith in the IDF to the extent that I cannot send my son into combat with any kind of peace of mind.

    When we hear that a commander, the son of the Attorney General, no less ripped a protective vest off a soldier who trusted him?

    When we see that the battalion commander covered for it?

    And the IDF Spokesperson lied about Meara’s son being discharged?

    You know what that does to people’s faith?
    To their sense that they made the right choice?
    To their belief that this country keeps its moral promises?

    It shatters it.

    Our sons can face rockets, fear, impossible missions.
    What they cannot face is the knowledge that the people leading them might put their own comfort above their soldiers’ lives.

    Trust is the backbone of the IDF.
    Without it, nothing works.
    Not courage, not teamwork, not discipline, not sacrifice.
    Everything collapses.

    If the IDF wants to keep the faith of the soldiers who risk their lives and the parents who barely sleep at night,

    If Israel wants to keep the trust of the olim who come here to build and to serve,

    If we want to win, morally, militarily, nationally, then this cannot be swept under the rug.

    A commander who steals lifesaving gear has no place in uniform.

    A battalion commander who covers for him has no business commanding anyone.

    And an Attorney General who cannot uphold basic ethical responsibility in her own home and spreads corruption wherever she goes, has no authority to lecture a nation on rule of law.

    This isn’t about a vest.
    It’s about the soul of the army my child serves in.
    It’s about the moral spine of the country I love.
    It’s about whether our leadership still deserves the trust we give so freely and pay for so dearly.

    The AG has to go.

    Because Israel needs leaders who lift the standard, not bury it.

    And no her face will not grace my feed”
