Ben-Gvir Demands Defense Ministry in Next Term, Proposes Gottlieb for Justice
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has stated his conditions for participating in the next government, asserting that he will demand the Defense Ministry portfolio. He also proposed that MK Tally Gottlieb be appointed to head the Justice Ministry.
Ben-Gvir's remarks indicate a clear intention to elevate his political standing and influence within any future coalition. His current role as National Security Minister places him in charge of police and border police forces, but the Defense Ministry oversees the IDF and broader security apparatus.
The minister's demands signal potential friction in coalition negotiations, as the allocation of key ministries is often a point of contention. The Justice Ministry, responsible for the legal system and judicial appointments, is also a significant portfolio.
While the article does not specify when these conditions were articulated or to whom, it implies they are part of Ben-Gvir's strategic positioning for future political arrangements. The mention of Tally Gottlieb suggests a potential alliance or a desire to reward a specific political figure within his party or a potential coalition partner.
