Ben-Gvir says he wants control of the national guard because, in his view, it had been neglected by police chiefs
Israel authorized on Sunday a national guard sought by far-right security chief Itamar Ben-Gvir to focus on Arab unrest, but held off on giving him direct command after political rivals voiced concern the force could become a sectarian “militia.”
Having recanted some of his views, he joined Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition with an expanded law-and-order portfolio that he pledged would include a beefed-up national guard for use mainly in crime- and rioting-hit Arab communities. But having voted in favour on Sunday, the cabinet said in a statement that the question of whom the national guard would be subordinate to remained open. It appointed a multi-agency panel to submit recommendations on this and other issues in 90 days.
Opposition leader Yair Lapid last week scorned the proposed national guard as “a private militia for a dangerous Tik-Tok clown” – a reference to Ben-Gvir’s volubility on social media.
