- Judge Sohlberg also fined Ben-Gvir's Otzma Yehudit party.
- Ben-Gvir claims videos deter future terror attacks.
- The terrorist was responsible for 1996 Jerusalem bombings.
The Chairman of the Central Elections Committee, Judge Noam Sohlberg, has ordered National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir to remove a video in which he is seen meeting with Hassan Salameh, a senior Hamas operative responsible for suicide bombings in 1996 and a comrade of Yahya Sinwar. In the video, Ben-Gvir is heard threatening to execute Salameh if he becomes defense minister. Judge Sohlberg also imposed financial costs on Ben-Gvir's party, Otzma Yehudit.
Ben-Gvir responded to the ruling, calling it "most perplexing." He argued that a firm hand is needed against terrorists in prisons and that the video, like others he has published, serves as a deterrent to future attackers. "I regret Judge Sohlberg's decision; this is not how you fight terror," Ben-Gvir stated.
