Chaos in the High Court: Ben Gvir and Gotliv Clash with UNRWA Representative

During a High Court hearing on petitions against the UNRWA law, a heated verbal confrontation erupted between Minister Ben Gvir and MK Gotliv and the lawyer representing UNRWA. Ben Gvir said the law ends the absurdity and halts official cooperation with the organization, and called on the court to reject the petitions.

In a hearing held today (Monday) at the High Court of Justice regarding petitions filed against the law to halt UNRWA's activities, a sharp verbal confrontation developed between National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and MK Tali Gotliv and the lawyer representing UNRWA, who is also a former mayor of Tayibe. According to reports, the lawyer spoke to the two rudely, and in response they shouted at him: "Get out of here, who gave you a law license? Shame on the Bar Association." Ben Gvir said that the law "puts an end to the absurdity in which the State of Israel allowed UNRWA to operate within its territory and halts official cooperation with the organization," and that it is a "correction of a wrong that has persisted for years." He expressed hope that the High Court would reject the petitions and not harm the law.
