Ben Gvir Demands Defense Ministry Portfolio in Next Israeli Government
The Israeli minister unveiled a security program that includes promoting what he calls voluntary migration of Palestinians and disarming the Palestinian Authority.
Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir announced he will demand the Defense Ministry portfolio in the next Israeli government, according to reports by Sky News Arabia.
In this context, Ben Gvir unveiled details of a security program he intends to push forward, which includes, according to the report, promoting what he described as "voluntary migration" of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip and West Bank.
Ben Gvir's announced plan also includes calls to disarm the Palestinian Authority, in addition to changing the rules of engagement currently used by the Israeli military, according to what Sky News Arabia reported from the minister.
The report did not clarify the expected timeline for forming the next Israeli government in which Ben Gvir aspires to hold the Defense Ministry, nor did it address any official response from other Israeli officials to his statements.
This announcement comes amid ongoing political and security debate within Israel over policies related to Gaza, the West Bank, and the Palestinian Authority. Ben Gvir is known for his hardline positions on these matters.
