National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir said the right-wing bloc has not run its course, but its future depends on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He said he hopes the next coalition will be a fully right-wing government and warned that joining Gadi Eisenkot, Benny Gantz and Naftali Bennett would abandon judicial reform. Ben Gvir said his first demand in a future government would be the dismissal of Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara. He also criticized Police Commissioner Dani Levy's performance and said police had initially mishandled attacks on the Japanika restaurant chain.
