Ben-Gvir
Itamar Ben-Gvir is an Israeli politician and lawyer who has served as Israel's minister of national security since 2022, except for a two-month gap in early 2025.
He is a far-right figure, described by Al Jazeera as 'the face of Israel's hard right.' The international community includes global human rights groups, the United Nations, and various foreign governments that monitor and respond to actions in the occupied Palestinian territories.
Ben-Gvir's actions and statements, including calls for nightly killings in Gaza and the mistreatment of detained activists from a Gaza flotilla, have drawn widespread international condemnation.
These actions are seen as conflicting with international human rights standards and legal norms, as reflected in reports by UN bodies and criticism from human rights organizations.
The dispute centers on the appropriateness and legality of such measures under international law and their impact on the Palestinian population.
