Security Assessment Excludes Ben Gvir, US Envoy's Tweet Sparks Israeli Protest.
TL;DR
National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir was not invited to a security assessment following a deadly shooting attack in the West Bank on Tuesday, reportedly due to a lack of trust. Ben Gvir, who chairs the far-right Otzma Yehudit party, had pushed for a widespread military operation in the West Bank in response to the shooting. The anonymous comments against Ben Gvir mark the latest signs of strain between Otzma Yehudit and the other parties in the coalition government.
