National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir clashed with Israel Police chief Kobi Shabtai on Monday after Ben-Gvir demanded that police step up the pace of home demolitions in east Jerusalem, according to Haaretz. According to the report, Ben-Gvir made the demand shortly after two homes belonging to the Bashir family were demolished in the Jebl Mukaber neighborhood of east Jerusalem.

Shabtai reportedly responded "This is not how decisions are made... I presented you with a plan of what can be done in the face of operational constraints. I don't have 300 officers to assign to this right now, can you give me another 300 officers? We will evacuate the buildings in Jerusalem according to the operational plan we established."
