National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir denies media reports of a physical confrontation with Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar during a security meeting. Ben Gvir confirms confronting Bar but vehemently denies the need for intervention by other officials. The confrontation stemmed from a previous report of a covert probe into extreme-right elements in the Israel Police. Ben Gvir's office calls the reports defamation and threatens a lawsuit for false publications.
