National Security Minister Ben-Gvir Attends Selichot Prayers with Rabbi Yigal Cohen
Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir participated in Selichot prayers, a penitential service held during the High Holy Days, at the home of Rabbi Yigal Cohen, a prominent religious figure and member of the Chief Rabbinate Council. Ben-Gvir was accompanied by Israel Prison Service Commissioner Kobi Yaakobi and his son, Shoval Ben-Gvir, who serves in an elite unit.
Rabbi Cohen welcomed the minister, the commissioner, and Shoval warmly, engaging in conversation and offering blessings for their continued success in their work for the Israeli people and the security of its citizens. The meeting follows recent visits by Rabbi Cohen to prisons, where he publicly praised Minister Ben-Gvir and Commissioner Yaakobi's policies aimed at tightening the conditions for Hamas militants.
