Court curbs Ben-Gvir powers in major ruling
The Israeli High Court ruled to limit National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir’s authority over police conduct and appointments, rejecting full removal but imposing significant constraints. This impacts Israel’s internal security apparatus, particularly the police force, by reducing executive control over operational and personnel decisions. The ruling underscores constitutional checks on emergency powers in security contexts.
