Israel's attorney general delays decision over removing Ben-Gvir from political position

Israel's Attorney General (AG) has requested to delay a decision over whether to remove Itamar Ben-Gvir from his post as Minister of National Security until 1 January, Haaretz reported on Thursday. 

AG Gali Baharav-Miara's decision is in response to the Supreme Court petitions demanding that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remove Ben-Gvir because of his interference in police work. 

The AG informed in November Netanyahu that Ben-Gvir had violated an agreement in April preventing him from interfering in operational police decisions.
