Ben Gvir Declares Intent to Seek Defense Ministry, Gottlieb for Justice
National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has officially announced his political aspirations for the upcoming government, stating he will seek the Defense Ministry portfolio. He also indicated that MK Tali Gottlieb would be his choice for the Justice Ministry.
Ben Gvir and Gottlieb have outlined a joint plan featuring "radical measures." These include encouraging voluntary emigration from Gaza and the West Bank, altering open-fire regulations to support soldiers, and disarming the Palestinian Authority. On the judicial front, their plan proposes the immediate dismissal of the government's legal advisor and a change in the judicial appointment process, requiring public hearings in the Knesset for nominees.
This official declaration is seen as a direct challenge to other political factions and is expected to intensify the electoral landscape ahead of the 26th Knesset elections.
