National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir says his far-right Otzma Yehudit party is boycotting cabinet meetings and Knesset votes because Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud isn’t living up to its promises.
“We demand the adoption of right-wing principles,” he says in a video statement.
He also addresses Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, who was quoted dismissing his complaints over the return of a Palestinian assailant’s body.
“Don’t release bodies, don’t release terrorists — kill them,” Ben Gvir says.
