Former Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has rejoined Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition as Israel resumes its military campaign against Hamas in Gaza. His return strengthens the government’s parliamentary standing and reinforces its commitment to national security.
Ben-Gvir, leader of the Otzma Yehudit Party, initially resigned on January 19, protesting a temporary ceasefire that he believed undermined Israel’s efforts to eradicate Hamas’ terror infrastructure. His party has consistently advocated for decisive military action to eliminate threats posed by Iran-backed terrorist groups, including Hamas and Hezbollah.
With Ben-Gvir back in the coalition, the government reaffirms its unwavering stance on national security, prioritizing the dismantling of Hamas and other terror organizations threatening Israeli civilians. His return signals a unified approach in Israel’s military strategy, ensuring operations in Gaza align with the country’s broader security objectives.
