At fallen soldier's funeral, Ben-Gvir calls for tougher terror measures
At Sgt. Yuval Shai Svilem's funeral, Ben-Gvir recalls their personal meeting, invokes Rabbi Akiva, and calls for tougher measures against terrorism.
Jewish billionaire Bill Ackman criticized National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, urging their exclusion from the upcoming Israeli government. Ackman criticized the ministers for causing significant reputational harm to Israel, with their statements and actions frequently portrayed in global media as representing all Israelis.
Ackman believes that a government formed without Ben-Gvir and Smotrich would demonstrate Israel's willingness to start anew, potentially improving its image abroad and strengthening diplomatic ties.
