National Security Minister and leader of the Otzma Yehudit party, Itamar Ben-Gvir, issued sharp criticism against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The trigger was Netanyahu's behavior during a joint visit to the Etzel Museum in Tel Aviv: the prime minister refused to be photographed with Ben-Gvir and made a statement alone. Ben-Gvir stated that this demonstrates Netanyahu's intention to form an alliance with Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the Yashar party. 'For four years, Ben-Gvir was acceptable to him, but now he has decided to return to boycotting and even avoid a joint photo,' the minister said.
