Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel's national security minister, faced backlash during his U.S. visit aimed at mobilizing support for his controversial proposal encouraging Palestinians to leave Gaza. Although he made light of the potential legal repercussions for his remarks, the trip was marked by extensive protests. Outside his speech at the Wall Street Grill in Manhattan, groups like UnXeptable and local Jewish politicians condemned him, even as disruptions occurred during his address, highlighting the polarized views on his far-right policies in Israel and abroad.
"I take my vacations in Tiberias or Eilat," the Israeli national security minister quipped in Hebrew. "I don't go abroad much."
