Against the background of the seizure of the terrorist cell that planned to assassinate him, MK Itamar Ben Gvir responded today (Friday) to the allegations against him, the attempt to harm him and the treatment of Prime Minister Bennett and Foreign Minister Lapid.
"Hamas does not need justifications to assassinate me," he told Israel Today, "Lapid and Bennett are attacking me all day and delegitimizing me, and the enemies feel it. "Say a word? Won't you condemn ?! This is a direct continuation of my bloodshed. My family and I are constantly receiving threats. This is the result of this conduct."

You attacked the GSS chief, and he saved you. Do you regret it?
"No. There is a difference between specific criticism and assessment. I always fight for the GSS in Knesset committees.
"By the way, when I was informed about the cell, I asked to personally inform the head of the GSS that he was doing holy work. It is allowed to visit, it does not mean that I am against the organization."
What will happen if there is a missile warning from Gaza if you reach the Nablus Gate?
"Will we fold the State of Israel because they have a warning? They threatened that I would not reach the Temple Mount and Shimon the Tzaddik, otherwise Jerusalem would be bombed with missiles. There was nothing. Such warnings should bring down the houses of Hamas leaders. "To go up to the Temple Mount is the way."

Some say you brought the threats on yourself.
"It is similar to accusing a rapist of rape. I do everything with permission. Thanks to the bureau in Shimon Hatzadik, the police and the GSS operated there."
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
