Ben-Gvir barred from giving operational orders to police, High Court rules
Ben-Gvir says he advance the judicial reform and will pass further amendments to counter the ruling.

National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir was barred from giving orders for ongoing in-field police operations, the High Court of Justice ruled in an interim order, which came after the Attorney-General had expressed concerns about his interference in law enforcement engagement with judicial reform protests.
