"Israel’s" Police Minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, has been prohibited from intelligence briefings after a series of leaks of sensitive documents.

He has been banned from attending the occupation's "National Security Council" meetings amid accusations of breaching the security guidelines, noting that it is his positional duty to protect the latter.

Israeli newspaper Haaretz revealed that Ben-Gvir has been accused of illegally photographing classified attendees of high-level intelligence meetings.

The occupation's Shin Bet intelligence chiefs also rejected any future meeting with him last month after he damaged relations between the two sides following a hostile environment prevailed in weekly security meetings.

The Shin Bet further stated that Ben-Gvir has leaked information that violates protocol such as bringing mobile phones into meetings.

A senior Israeli intelligence source informed The Telegraph that “The biggest threat to Israel from within is Ben-Gvir. He acts within his own rules and tries to disregard everyone around him, in spite of his not having any background in national security and defense issues himself. He is a liability.”

Israeli cabinet revoke Ben-Gvir's authority over Al-Aqsa Mosque

Israeli media reported on February 28 that the Israeli war cabinet revoked Israeli occupation Police Minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir's jurisdictions over the Al-Aqsa Mosque. 

Earlier, Ben-Gvir had proposed a plan that prohibited the access of Muslim worshippers from the occupied territories in 1948 and the West Bank to al-Aqsa Mosque during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. 

Although Benjamin Netanyahu had succumbed to Ben-Gvir's demands previously, the Israeli war cabinet opposed the measure fearing the fueling of tensions. The cabinet also removed the police minister from its work schedule and confirmed it would be making decisions on his behalf, the Israeli broadcaster Channel 12 said.

It was additionally reported that cabinet members Benny Gantz, Yoav Galant, and Gadi Eisenkot urged Netanyahu to prohibit Ben-Gvir from partaking in decisions affecting the holy site, saying "In an exploding issue, there is no space for foreign and political considerations."
