Itamar Ben-Gvir

Itamar Ben-Gvir is the Israeli National Security Minister, identified as a far-right figure who, along with Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, supports the annexation of Palestinian territories and is known for inflammatory rhetoric. He is currently newsworthy due to his reactions to the US-Iran agreement and international scrutiny. Recently, Italian prosecutors launched an investigation into Ben-Gvir over the alleged mistreatment of Italian nationals detained during the interception of an aid flotilla bound for Gaza. This led to Italy's Foreign Minister calling his comments "unacceptable." Furthermore, the European Union failed to reach a consensus on imposing economic sanctions against him, despite proposals from "many" member states. Ben-Gvir has also praised police for killing a suspect in a shooting incident in central Israel. His political stances and actions have drawn significant international attention and criticism.
