Ben Gvir calls for voting restrictions while boasting about hardline policies
National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has demanded that voting rights be stripped from individuals who do not pledge loyalty to the state, arguing the move is now more critical than ever. The statement follows preliminary election results showing Arab parties securing 19 parliamentary seats after 91% of votes were tallied, amidst ongoing difficulties in forming a government. Ben Gvir also highlighted his tenure, expressing pride in worsening prison conditions for Palestinian detainees, pushing for capital punishment, demolishing thousands of homes in the Negev, and expanding civilian armament, claiming these steps have created significant deterrence.
