The far-right nationalist will prop up Binyamin Netanyahu’s government
in less than four years were finalised on November 3rd, one group in particular had cause to celebrate. The Religious Zionism list took 14 seats in the Knesset, up from six last year, making it the third-largest group. Many credit Itamar Ben-Gvir, a far-right nationalist politician, with boosting its popularity. He joined Religious Zionism as co-leader at the behest of Binyamin Netanyahu, the former prime minister, to bolster support for Mr Netanyahu’s far-right bloc in parliament.
Mr Ben-Gvir qualified as a lawyer, specialising in representing Jews accused of extremism. In 2013 he joined the Knesset slate for Jewish Power, an ideological successor to Kach, and became its leader in 2019. Mr Ben-Gvir has called for “disloyal” Arabs to be expelled from Israel and has been filmed waving a gun in the faces of Palestinians protesting in East Jerusalem. He has been indicted more than 50 times for inciting violence and hate speech.
