Ben Gvir’s wife: Yes, I carry a gun, ‘deal with it’

Sara Netanyahu (C) meets with the wives of several of the prospective coalition members Yaffa Deri (2L), Maoz (L), Ayala Ben Gvir (2R) and Rivka Goldknopf (R) on November 14, 2022. Ben Gvir can be seen with a hand gun tucked into her skirt. (Likud)
Ayala Ben Gvir, the wife of Otzma Yehudit leader Itamar Ben Gvir, defends herself after being photographed carrying a gun at a meeting with Sara Netanyahu.
“I Live in Hebron, a mother of six sweet children and travel through terror-infested roads, and am married to the most threatened man in the country, so yes, I have a gun. Deal with it,” she tweets.
Questions were raised after she posed for a picture with the other wives of the leaders of the political parties negotiating to enter a government, with a pistol clearly visible, tucked into her skirt, with many wondering how security officials had allowed her into the presence of Sara Netanyahu with a firearm.
