Israeli security officials are concerned about the danger of the future cabinet
The initial reactions and subsequent analyses and comments by moderate and liberal Israeli political activists and analysts indicate disillusionment and, beyond that, concern over Netanyahu’s rise to power and the presence of the extremist Itamar Ben Gvir in the Israeli cabinet. Now, these concerns have been openly expressed beyond just experts and analysts.
Various current and former Israeli security officials are gradually making their concerns about Itamar Ben Gvir’s presence in the Israeli cabinet public. He aims to dominate the Ministry of Internal Security and many aspects of managing urban, civic, and security structures. His and his ally Bezalel Smotrich’s access to classified documents and security data poses a risk to Israel and its internal and international security.
