An Israeli opposition leader said that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir have driven the country's internal security situation to a "historic low," according to Anadolu Agency.
The Yashar party leader pointed to recent gunfire incidents in the northern Negev region as evidence of deteriorating public safety, and accused the government of failing to curb the activity of organized crime groups operating within Israel.
The criticism adds to ongoing political debate in Israel over domestic law enforcement and the government's handling of organized crime, an issue that has drawn particular attention in Arab and Bedouin communities in the Negev, where residents have long raised concerns about the pace and effectiveness of police response.
Ben-Gvir, who oversees Israel's police force as national security minister, has faced repeated criticism from opposition figures over his management of internal security matters since taking office.
The government has not yet publicly responded to the latest comments, according to the available reporting.
