The awarding of the sensitive role of national security minister to far-right politician Ben-Gvir raises concerns of a further escalation in Israel's occupation and control over Palestinians in the country
Before becoming a lawyer and entering politics, Ben-Gvir was convicted of offenses that include inciting racism and supporting a Jewish terrorist organisation.
Ben-Gvir is the disciple of a racist rabbi, Meir Kahane, who was banned from Parliament and whose Kach party was branded a terrorist group by the United States before he was assassinated in New York in 1990. In his new role, he would be in charge of the police, among other things, enabling him to escalate hard-line policies against Palestinians that he has advocated for years.
