Itamar Ben Gvir of the Otzma Yehudit party speaks during a ceremony in Jerusalem marking the 27th anniversary of the killing of extremist rabbi Meir Kahane, November 7, 2017. The sign behind him reads, 'Kahane was right!' (Yonatan Sindel/Flash90)
Religious Zionism MK Itamar Ben Gvir was photographed at the desk of his new Knesset office with a cake for his birthday.
Haaretz reporter Netael Bandel spotted Meir Kahane’s “The Light of the Idea” among the stack of books behind him.
During the recent election campaign, Ben Gvir sought to downplay his ties to the late extremist rabbi whose Kach movement is blacklisted in both the US and Israel. Ben Gvir said that he is not as extreme as his mentor, adding that he only supports expelling “disloyal” Arabs from Israel as opposed to all of them.
