Ben Gvir Demands Security Ministry, Gottlieb Justice Ministry in Next Term

National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir announced Tuesday that his party, Otzma Yehudit, will demand the Security and Justice portfolios in the next government. Ben Gvir stated he would seek the Security Ministry for himself, while MK Tali Gottlieb would be put forward for the Justice Ministry.

During a press conference in Tel Aviv, Ben Gvir outlined his security plan for the upcoming term. Key proposals include encouraging voluntary emigration from Gaza and the West Bank, increasing soldiers' salaries, providing free land to combat soldiers, altering open-fire regulations, revising Asa Kasher's "progressive ethical code," and opening elite military units to the general population.

MK Gottlieb presented her legal reform agenda, which begins with the immediate dismissal of the current Attorney General as the first step of a future government. Other proposed reforms include appointing Supreme Court justices only after a hearing by the Knesset's Constitution Committee and a two-thirds majority approval, "returning the High Court of Justice to its natural purpose," and reforming the legal treatment of criminal organizations and terrorists.

Ben Gvir made these statements directly to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, indicating his demands for the next government coalition.
