After Jerusalem Attack, Ben Gvir Urges Civilian Arming as Netanyahu Rebukes Supreme Court

Their on-site statements cast a Supreme Court ruling on Nukhba detainees as harmful to deterrence.

Overview

  • Six people were killed and 16 wounded in the attack at Jerusalem’s Ramot Junction, according to the prime minister’s office visit coverage.
  • Itamar Ben Gvir praised a Chareidi soldier and two armed Chareidim he said responded thanks to weapons-reform permits, and he urged Israelis to arm themselves.
  • Ben Gvir said he has signed 35 orders seeking the expulsion of terrorists’ families and indicated he expects Interior Minister Yariv Levin to approve them.
  • He accused the Supreme Court of easing conditions for imprisoned Nukhba fighters by ordering a menu change and argued that harsh prison conditions are essential for deterrence.
  • Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared Israel is fighting terror on several fronts and told the court it is part of that effort, though his posted video omitted those remarks.
