National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir Supports Beitar Owner Barak Abramov Amid Grenade Attacks on His Businesses
The controversy surrounding grenade attacks on several branches of the "Jafnika" chain, owned by Beitar Jerusalem owner Barak Abramov, continues to unfold. On July 15, 2026, Channel 12 revealed a phone conversation between National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Abramov, highlighting the minister's involvement in addressing the issue.
According to Abramov's lawyers, Ben-Gvir and senior police officials recently contacted Abramov to assure him that neither he nor the Jafnika chain has any business ties with criminals in Israel. During a conference call, they promised to take all necessary measures to stop the attacks, including deploying police patrols at every branch if needed.
This development comes amid ongoing security concerns for Abramov's businesses following multiple grenade attacks. The intervention by Ben-Gvir and law enforcement officials signals a coordinated effort to protect Abramov's enterprises and ensure public safety.
The case remains under close watch as authorities work to prevent further violence and investigate the perpetrators behind the attacks.
