The story · English
A man close to National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, who had threatened journalists, was removed from the courtroom in the Netanyahu trial and later returned after intervention by a Likud spokesperson. The incident drew attention because the man had been expelled from the proceedings before being allowed back in.
The article says the reversal came following pressure from the Likud spokesman, though it does not name him. The episode adds to tensions around the ongoing trial and the treatment of reporters covering it. No further details were given about what happened before or after the intervention.
