Ben Gvir hits back at Biden: ‘We won’t compromise on a single hill or outpost’

National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir hits back US President Joe Biden, who said yesterday that the Israeli government has some “of the most extreme members” he’s ever seen and slammed ministers who back expansionist settlement policies as “part of the problem” in the Israel-Palestinian conflict.

Speaking at a Chabad event, Ben Gvir hails the United States as “our wonderful friend” before addressing Biden.

“The Land of Israel is for the nation of Israel, per the Torah of Israel. We won’t compromise on a single hill or outpost [in the West Bank]. It’s ours,” he says.

Ben Gvir, who heads the far-right Otzma Yehudit party, also calls for the government to move ahead with the entire judicial reform and not only the “reasonableness” bill that the Knesset is slated to hold a first vote on later today.
