Ben Gvir says High Court 'wants to fire the nation' after order about his potential sacking

National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has sharply criticized the High Court of Justice after it ordered Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to explain why Ben Gvir has not been dismissed from his ministerial post. Ben Gvir claims the court is attempting to override the will of the voters and insists it lacks the authority to remove him, framing the move as an attack on democratic choice. The court's order follows accusations from the Attorney General that Ben Gvir has abused his powers and interfered in police matters, violating previous agreements intended to limit his authority. Cabinet Secretary Yossi Fuchs also condemned the court's intervention, arguing that it undermines the separation of powers and constitutes an illegal overreach.
