Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir revealed on Saturday night that incarcerated terrorists in Israel's Lavi and Ketziot prisons are hoarding food. Ben-Gvir stated that the prisoners are saving what little food they receive to celebrate if he is not reappointed to his position after the upcoming elections. He explained that the terrorists are preparing for the possibility of his departure from the Ministry of National Security, saying they are saving food for "Tuesday evening" to celebrate if he leaves the prison and police portfolio.
Ben-Gvir also claimed that some Bedouin and Arab citizens in the Negev are working against his continued tenure, citing his policy of demolishing illegal structures. These statements come amid Ben-Gvir's broader policy to tighten the conditions for security prisoners in Israeli jails.
In related remarks, Ben-Gvir addressed his ongoing conflict with Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, asserting he is the only minister she sought to dismiss. He reiterated his belief that he was correct to ask the Prime Minister to dismiss her, claiming "everyone today tells me I was right."
Ahead of the elections, Ben-Gvir urged the public to vote and warned against casting ballots for parties that might not pass the electoral threshold, calling such votes a "gift" to Baharav-Miara and a risk to their cause.
