Itamar Ben-Gvir

Itamar Ben-Gvir is Israel's far-right National Security Minister. He has recently gained significant attention for advocating the forced expulsion of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, outlining a plan for their removal and transfer abroad. Ben-Gvir also oversees prison facilities where Palestinian detainees reportedly face abuse and neglect. Furthermore, he has been involved in controversial actions such as storming the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound with settlers, which has been seen as a violation of the established status quo. His rhetoric has also extended to threatening Israeli filmmakers with citizenship revocation over a documentary critical of Israeli actions in Gaza. These actions and statements place Ben-Gvir at the center of current discussions regarding Israeli policy towards Palestinians and internal Israeli political discourse, particularly in the context of upcoming elections.
