Itamar Ben-Gvir

Several progressive Jewish organizations have planned a protest at a plaza outside the United Nations, where Israeli media reported that the minister would be attending a conference on policing.

The bill was drafted by Galit Distel Atbaryan, Keti Shitrit, and a group of additional lawmakers. Thirty-six MKs voted in favor of the bill, while 41 opposed it, and it was removed from the agenda.

An explanatory statement regarding the proposal cited “the security risk involved in the entry of external elements into prisons” as the reason for the bill being put forward.

According to the organization, Ben-Gvir bears direct responsibility for “war crimes, systematic torture policy in prisons, abuse, murder, rape and incitement to genocide.”

During the press conference, Netanyahu condemned unnamed forces which "want to cause a rift in the people, want to aggravate and deepen the misunderstandings and disagreements and rifts within us."

A cabinet exchange erupted after ministers said soldiers in southern Lebanon reported restrictions. Netanyahu and Katz denied claims, saying troops face no limits

The demonstration came in the wake of comments made the previous day by Ben-Gvir, saying that he would continue demolishing “more and more and more illegally built homes in the Negev.

The meeting was reportedly the first since October 7 and came a few weeks after the French National Anti-Terror office announced that it had opened a preliminary investigation against Israel.

The ruling followed a petition submitted by the Movement for Quality Government last month, which demanded the video’s removal within four days.

"I told the Prime Minister, even in our private meetings: For every tear of an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese mothers must weep," Ben-Gvir wrote on X/Twitter.
