Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir responded to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's statement that the defense portfolio would remain with the Likud party. Ben-Gvir asserted that the defense ministry is not the property of any specific party but rather a role dedicated to ensuring the security of Israeli citizens, not a political prize. He further stated that a conceptual change is needed within the Defense Ministry, rather than a continuation of the status quo.
Ben-Gvir's remarks suggest a disagreement over the allocation of key government ministries, particularly the sensitive defense portfolio, as political maneuvering continues.
