Netanyahu Opposes Ben Gvir's Demands
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected the demands of National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir to obtain the Security and Justice Ministries in the upcoming government, highlighting rising competition within the Right-wing camp ahead of the Knesset elections. Netanyahu considered that Likud would retain control over security portfolios, with leaks suggesting public disagreements and efforts by Ben Gvir to boost his party, "Jewish Power," by securing ministries that would enable the implementation of its hardline political agenda, including the expulsion of Palestinians and changes to shooting policies. Tensions are escalating after Ben Gvir accused Netanyahu of trying to attract votes from the Right rather than expanding his support base, amid increasing disputes over the distribution of sovereign ministries. These conflicts come as parties seek to form a stable government ahead of the elections scheduled for October 27, 2026.
