, the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the national guard “will deal with national emergency situations,” and referred to the internecine violence that accompanied Israel’s military incursion in Gaza in 2021.
Netanyahu endorsed Ben Gvir’s national guard proposal last week, in exchange for the minister’s support amid a national crisis over plans to restructure Israel’s judiciary. Ben Gvir, a member of Netanyahu’s ruling coalition, backed the prime minister’s decision to freeze the judicial reform package.The legislation, which could give the government a greater say in judicial appointments, including to the Supreme Court, has spurred widespread opposition from a cross-section of Israeli society.
Ben Gvir, a former activist and attorney for settlers accused of violently attacking Palestinians, has been convicted dozens of times for charges that include support for terrorist organizations and anti-Palestinian incitement. Until 2020, he hung a portrait in his home of an Israeli gunman who killed 29 Palestinians in a West Bank mosque in 1994.
It also risks “causing heavy damage to the country’s internal security systems,” Shabtai said. He was not allowed to attend Sunday’s cabinet discussion, Israeli media reported.Israeli Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara also told government officials that the proposal faces legal hurdles. Police, she said, “must and can deal with security problems without the need for an additional body.”
