Intense argument occurs in passionate meeting of Cabinet officials
In an unprecedented turn of events, a heated confrontation erupted during a meeting of the Israeli National Security Council on Tuesday. The meeting, which was chaired by National Security Council head Tzachi Hanegbi in the absence of Prime Minister Netanyahu, saw a heated exchange between Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and Hanegbi himself.
The altercation began when Ben Gvir, a newly appointed minister, entered the meeting and requested to speak. However, Hanegbi refused his request, leading to a shouting match between the two. Ben Gvir accused Hanegbi of past misconduct during his tenure as Police Minister, to which Hanegbi responded sarcastically.
Hanegbi, who has a reputation for maintaining a calm demeanor, made a comment about having faced similar individuals before, implying he had dealt with difficult situations in the past. This seemed to further enrage Ben Gvir, leading to the confrontation escalating.
The confrontation resulted in Hanegbi announcing the closure of the meeting without giving speaking time to either Minister Orit Strock or Minister Ben Gvir. Strock, who was tasked with leading the discussion on the powers of the National Security Council regarding the visit of terrorists in custody, was left without the opportunity to present her views.
The remaining ministers attempted to calm down Ben Gvir during the confrontation, but to no avail. Netanyahu left the meeting earlier than expected, adding to the tension-filled atmosphere.
The incident has caused a stir in Israeli political circles, with many calling for a more civil and productive approach to discussions in the National Security Council. The exact details of the confrontation and the allegations made by Ben Gvir are still unclear, but the incident serves as a reminder of the sometimes heated nature of Israeli politics.
