Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir was involved in a serious accident. The car in which the head of the department was returning from Ramala overturned on the road.
Israeli media report that the official was injured and was urgently taken to the hospital with moderate injuries, but there is no exact information about his condition yet. The causes of the accident have also not yet been reported. The first moments after the accident were captured on eyewitness cameras.
Itamar Ben-Gvir is known as the most right-wing minister in the Israeli government. He insists on a ground operation in Rafah, otherwise he demands the resignation of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The senior official also regularly criticizes Washington, accusing it of being too focused on providing humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip. According to Ben-Gvir, the United States should support Israel more. He has repeatedly advocated settling the enclave with Israelis, providing financial incentives for Palestinians to leave the autonomy.
It is believed that it was his loud statements that led to the first soft sanctions from Washington. Ben-Gvir is also criticized by the Israeli opposition for excessive radicalism.
