National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has issued an ultimatum to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, demanding the dismantling of Hamas and the implementation of the death penalty for terrorists. Ben Gvir stated that if these conditions are not met, his Otzma Yehudit party will leave the government. He emphasized that these demands were promised to him in the coalition agreement and insisted that the death penalty is necessary to prevent future kidnappings. Ben Gvir also commented on crime in the Arab sector, defending his policies despite a rise in murders and attributing most cases to internal disputes among crime families.
