The senior officials added joy to Eid Harifa for the partner from Otzma Yehudit, Knesset member Itamar Ben Gabir: “We managed to stop the drift of Itamar Ben Gabir, we estimate that he will end up with 12 mandates at the most,” they said.
Ben Gabir announced: In the next government I will demand the Ministry of Internal Security
As a reminder, yesterday (Sunday) the chairman of Otzma Yehudit, Itamar Ben Gabir, announced that he would demand the position of Minister of Internal Security in the next government. In his words, Ben Gvir said that the difficult security situation did not begin during the last government period.
As mentioned, Ben Gvir mentioned the wave of terrorism in Israeli cities: “In the last year, our enemies went on a killing spree in Hadera, Ariel, Bnei Brak, Tel Aviv and all over the country – with the aim of slaughtering Jews. Groups of rioters harass young girls every evening in the center of Jerusalem, in the heart of Be’er Sheva , in Acre, and in Ramla. The police do not have the authority to deal with the rioters, the Negev has become the Wild West and agricultural terrorism is dealing mortal blows to the moshavim and kibbutzim and there is a shortage of hands. Just today we saw how fighters are again attacked in Hebron, running towards them with batons and the soldiers are not allowed to open fire. Just today we saw more An attempt to murder soldiers in the Valley.”

“Ben Gabir will only be a minister in the government if I form the government”
He added: “I am doing this after serious consideration, a year and a half of working in the internal security committee, discussions every day and tours, significant preparatory work, after a large number of inquiries from the police. In the next government I will ask to serve as minister of internal security.”
After Ben Gabir’s statement, Netanyahu hastened to say that “Ben Gabir will only be a minister in the government if I form the next government, and for that to happen Likud must be bigger than Lapid.”
