Itamar Ben Gvir, Israel’s Minister of National Security from the far-right, labeled recent arrests of key prison officials and police officers as a ‘coup’ aimed at undermining him and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Following the arrests, he expressed fury in a televised statement, suggesting they represented a politically motivated attempt to destabilize his government. The detained individuals are under suspicion for corruption and misuse of trust, while Ben Gvir criticized both the Attorney General, Gali Baharav-Miara, and the investigation itself as politically driven.
