National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has threatened legal action against strategist Ronen Tzur after Tzur published a tweet claiming he had corresponded with an individual who presents himself as a supporter of Ben-Gvir and allegedly expressed willingness to murder civilians if ordered. Tzur said police are aware of the information and argued there was no need to file a formal complaint, adding that he intends to make the correspondence public.

Tzur suggested the exchange supports long-standing concerns about the existence of an 'underground' network allegedly operating with encouragement from enforcement authorities. In response, Ben-Gvir demanded that Tzur delete or rephrase the tweet within an hour or face another lawsuit, firmly rejecting any connection to the individual in question.

Ben-Gvir stated that even if the threats are real, they do not imply any relationship to him and accused Tzur of misrepresenting his role regarding police involvement. Tzur countered that he never claimed any direct connection, only that the individual identified himself as a supporter, and argued it is the minister's responsibility to ensure law enforcement addresses such threats.

The exchange escalated further as Tzur accused authorities of selective enforcement, claiming that threats against government opponents often go unanswered while peaceful protests are met with harsh police responses. The dispute has reignited debate over freedom of expression, political responsibility, and the role of law enforcement.
