As Benjamin Netanyahu’s point man on national security, this up-and-coming nationalist is shaping hard-line policies for Palestinians and Jewish settlements
A few years before he was rejected from Israeli military service because of the extremism of his views, and long before he vaulted to prominence as the country’s minister of national security late last year, Itamar Ben-Gvir reached the Hebron doorstep of Boston-born scholar Baruch Marzel.
This is the place to which a teenage Mr. Ben-Gvir came. It’s also near here that he made his home as an adult, on a single-street Jewish enclave in Hebron whose entrances are protected by heavy gates and soldiers with assault rifles. Those who live here are deeply committed to the idea of Israel as a Jewish land. Mr. Marzel keeps a copy of a handwritten deed from two centuries ago showing Jewish title. “If we don’t have a right to live here, where do we have a right to live?” he asks.
“This election let the lion out of the cage,” Prof. Magid said. “And even Netanyahu is going to lose control.” It’s important to bear in mind, Mr. Bramson said, that Mr. Ben-Gvir lives not in Tel Aviv but in Hebron, where Jews fear death if they wander out from the enclosure of the militarized enclaves they have built in a Palestinian area.
