Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has officially requested the position of Defense Minister in the next Israeli government. He also stated that MK Tali Gottlieb should be appointed Justice Minister. Ben-Gvir presented a security plan that advocates for the voluntary emigration of Gazans and West Bank residents, abandoning the concept of deterrence, disarming Palestinian factions, and arresting individuals supporting terrorism. His proposal also includes revising rules of engagement for soldiers, increasing their salaries, and providing free land.
The plan further addresses the military's code of ethics and suggests opening access to elite units, including Unit 8200, to all segments of the population. Concurrently, MK Tali Gottlieb has put forth a judicial reform agenda. This plan calls for the immediate resignation of the Attorney General upon the formation of a new cabinet. Gottlieb proposes altering the Supreme Court justice appointment process, requiring mandatory hearings in the Knesset's Constitution Committee and approval by a two-thirds majority.
The judicial reform initiative also aims to redefine the powers of the Supreme Court, restoring its original function of reviewing legal capacity and establishing a list of issues outside its jurisdiction.
