National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir attacked the Legal Advisor to the Government, Attorney Gali Baharav Mayara, this morning (Thursday), following the discussion about the nutritional conditions of terrorists in prison.
""There is no limit to the Attorney General's detachment, there is no limit to her delusion," Ben Gvir sharply attacked. He added: "While our hostages in Gaza are receiving a quarter of a pita bread a day, while our hostages are being abused in Gaza - it is important to the Attorney General that every terrorist in his cell has a basket of fruit.".
He said, "The time has come for the Israeli government to adopt my position and make a very, very clear decision - that the one who is managing things is the government, not the Ombudsman.".

Ben Gvir's attack comes after a recent discussion at the Ministry of Justice, initiated by the Office of the Legal Advisor to the Government and with the participation of representatives of the Prison Service, Bahar Meira asked the Prison Service for clarification on the worsening of the terrorists' conditions.
According to a report in Israel Hayom this morning (Thursday), among the terrorists about whom the Ombudsman requested clarification - the Nahva terrorists who carried out the October 7 massacre - are being held in prison and their dietary menu has changed.
According to the report, the Deputy Attorney General and the head of the High Courts Department at the Ministry of Justice wondered why the fruits that were previously distributed to terrorists in prisons were removed and requested clarification from Minister Ben Gvir and the Prison Service and its head, Gonder Kobi Yaakovi.
In addition, IPS representatives and Ben Gvir were asked why security prisoners receive hot dogs twice a week and not just once, since it is processed meat, which is not fresh and healthy - all this against the background of the professional recommendation to reduce it in order to "preserve their health.".
In addition, the Ombudsman's representatives determined that the data from the discussion showed: "A very large number of security prisoners receive a food supply that is lower than the minimum required for them.".
