Knesset looks set to pass bill giving unprecedented powers to firebrand national security minister
Benjamin Netanyahu talks to Itamar Ben-Gvir, who has convictions for incitement to racism and support for terrorism, in parliament on 15 November 2022.Benjamin Netanyahu talks to Itamar Ben-Gvir, who has convictions for incitement to racism and support for terrorism, in parliament on 15 November 2022.
The veteran political analyst Yossi Alpher predicted the emerging government would constitute an “imminent disaster” for the country if Netanyahu were unable or unwilling to rein in the radical parties to whom he conceded unprecedented powers during negotiations. The bill passed by 63-53 and could still be somewhat modified before its second and third readings. Ben-Gvir, who campaigned on a plan to expel “disloyal” Israeli citizens, has vowed to use his post to create “order” in the face of what the right has said is a grave internal security crisis in Arab communities inside Israel, some of them Bedouin. Ben-Gvir said he needed wider powers for this and that he had a popular mandate from voters to carry it out.
