Far-right deputy minister Almog Cohen disrupted a lecture at Ben-Gurion University to protest against Dr. Sebastian Ben-Daniel, a lecturer known for his criticism of Israeli military actions in Gaza. Cohen, accompanied by activists from an ultra-nationalist group, confronted Ben-Daniel during a class for reservist soldiers, an incident that was filmed and shared online. The university condemned Cohen's actions, emphasizing the negative impact on returning soldiers and criticizing the conduct of an elected official. Ben-Daniel, who has previously faced suspension for his remarks, was recently reinstated by the university.
