Ben Gvir Accuses Police Commissioner of Ordering Violence Against Ultra-Orthodox, Commissioner Calls Claims "Delusional"

National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir told the High Court that the Police Commissioner instructed officers to use severe violence against ultra-Orthodox Jews, allegedly saying "I want to see blood." The Police Commissioner issued an unusual public response, calling the accusations "serious, delusional, and disgraceful" and stating they "cross every line, particularly coming from the minister responsible for the police." The Commissioner said the police is "not a tool for political attacks" and called on Ben Gvir to retract his statement immediately, emphasizing that officers will continue acting with impartiality and professionalism.
