Ben-Gvir

"The path to victory over terrorism requires...creating strong deterrence. The gallows are an important tool in this struggle, as part of an overall change in approach," said Ben-Gvir.

Ben-Gvir leads the far-right Otzma Yehudit party and recently added Gotliv to the second slot on his list after she left Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ruling Likud party.

National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir defended the Prison Service’s treatment of Tsarafi in a statement responding to the public defender’s criticism.

The deadlock has forced parties to recalibrate. If the country is headed towards yet another deadlock, the question becomes: how can it be broken?

Sources close to Itamar Ben-Gvir say Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's shift in messaging suggests he may prefer a broader coalition, potentially leaving Otzma Yehudit outside the government.

The move follows Ra’am, Hadash-Ta’al, and Balad running separately in the previous election and not signing an agreement on surplus votes

National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said the High Court directive allowing visits to Nukhba terrorists would directly harm Israel’s security deterrence.

"Regrettably, the path to continue my activities in the Knesset or in the future government is not possible as I had planned," Fogel announced on X/Twitter.

Eiland warned that Israel’s approach toward the world is "stupid, childish and dangerous," saying the country must prioritize dialogue to protect its interests.

"If Likud wants to transfer Tally Gotliv to Otzmah Yehudit, it needs to carry out the procedures today, instead of sending empty briefings to the media," Ben-Gvir said in a statement.
