US Ambassador to Israel Praises Pro-Israel Activist Ben-Gvir
During a ceremony commemorating the 25th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Harkavy unexpectedly praised prominent pro-Israel activist Ben-Gvir, stating, "I hope you will be the Prime Minister of Israel." Harkavy also encouraged Gvir, "Continue your good advocacy work."
Ben-Gvir has had a significant year in his efforts to shape international opinion. He has been active on university campuses in the U.S. and Europe, engaging in lectures, debates, and open forums with students and faculty to present the Israeli narrative. He has also collaborated with non-Jewish international content creators and influencers to reach new audiences and break through echo chambers in the discourse surrounding Israel.
In addition to his grassroots activities, Ben-Gvir has participated in official diplomatic delegations, meeting with lawmakers, opinion leaders, and community heads abroad. These engagements have solidified his position as a key figure in the new generation of Israeli advocacy leaders. The ambassador's remarks at the memorial ceremony suggest that Ben-Gvir's current activities are a stepping stone to significant future leadership roles.
