Itamar Ben-Gvir

Abbas also accused National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir of “smiling” when hearing about Arab citizens being murdered.

The raid during which the attack occurred was part of an ongoing push by Israeli law enforcement to crack down on various crimes, including illegal immigration and illegal weapon possession.

To date, the IDF and the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) have succeeded in catching and stopping such efforts, but some of the rocket building efforts have progressed to later stages.

The concept, intended for terrorist prisoners, is meant to reduce escape attempts and save millions of shekels annually in personnel costs.

In the footage, one of the children says: “We’re transferring the weapons to Ben-Gvir’s guard.” The comment appears to mock Operation New Order.

Ben-Gvir responded during a police ceremony in Beit Shemesh, where he sharply criticized the attorney-general while awarding ranks and making senior appointments.

The Florida Republican ignited a new round of controversy with a series of remarks about Palestinians and “mainstream Muslims” that his critics say are not just provocative but amount to “genocidal.”

Opening the Rafah crossing in both directions would let Palestinians who left Gaza enter again, but had to withdraw after pressure from coalition members.

The minister emphasized that he lacks the authority to act on broader border security issues.

Ben-Gvir claimed that a close associate contacted officials in the Prime Minister’s Office on two occasions, warning that Feldstein was unreliable.
