The High Court of Justice's decision, which rejected Gali Baharav Meyara's request to impose sweeping restrictive orders on the activities of National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, drew criticism from journalists affiliated with the left.
Haaretz newspaper police correspondent Josh Breiner tweeted on his X account: "I'll say this explicitly: the High Court has surrendered to Ben Gvir. The Attorney General has requested orders against Ben Gvir that will completely prevent him from promoting officers to the most sensitive and senior positions in the police, such as head of the investigations division.
""In practice, it is impossible to promote officers without the approval of the commissioner or the police anyway. This is an almost meaningless decision that allows Ben Gvir to continue to take control of the police.".
