The chairman of Jewish Power and the candidate on the list of religious Zionism for the Knesset, Adv. Itamar Ben Gvir, announced tonight (Saturday) that he will require Netanyahu to be the Minister of Defense of the Negev and the Galilee in the next government.
In an interview with the "Meet the Press" program on Channel 12, Ben Gvir said: "When the prime minister said I would not be a minister, I did not understand what he wanted, because my original plan was to seek the chairmanship of a constitutional committee. This is my profession, law, I built an office "Lawyers are successful and that's what I wanted. But I am after a month when soldiers in the Negev come to me and tell me 'we are entering our fire areas' and there is complete anarchy there. Women who go to jogging bother them."
Ben Gvir added: "In the north, not only in the south, business owners are being protected. That is why I am saying here for the first time - I intend to ask Netanyahu to be the Minister of Defense of the Negev and the Galilee. Security must be restored to the Negev and the Galilee. - And that's me. "
In addition, when asked if he sat in the government to establish a Bennett or Lapid branch, he replied: "Netanyahu is really a different league. I will not sit under a Lapid or an Saar. Bennett, with all due respect and appreciation, cannot be a prime minister with ten seats."
In the same interview, Ben Gvir referred to a bill that he intends to promote in the next Knesset, if he is a member of it, according to which the prime minister and ministers will automatically be entitled to immunity from prosecution: "The prime minister and ministers should have spot immunity. I do not do it for Netanyahu or Deri, I do "This is for every minister or prime minister, so that they will not be held captive by the attorney general and the prosecutor's office. In every normal country there is no such thing. Only in Israel does one person have all the power to decide who will be prime minister or minister. This thing must be stopped."
