Ben Gvir vows to defy effort to bar him from nationalist march
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleResponding to Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s decision to bar him from Damascus Gate, where nationalists are planning to march, MK Itamar Ben-Gvir is vowing to disobey the order and says he will be there.
“After he abandoned police and citizens, [Bennett] has turned into a dictator who harms the freedom of movement of Knesset members,” complains Ben Gvir, noting that MKs have parliamentary immunity.
“If there is no agreed framework [for the march] and [no] compromise between the police and organizers, I intend to go to Damascus Gate, without asking Bennett, [public security minister Omer] Barlev, the Shura Council or Hamas,” says the firebrand lawmaker in a statement.
