Israeli extremist leader vows to increase attacks on Palestine if he becomes minister

Israeli extremist leader Itmar Ben-Gvir on November 3 promised to increase violence against Palestinians if he becomes interior security minister in the new government.

He has also vowed to tighten the security against crime in the Arab community residing in Israel. Ben-Gvir also plans to revamp the security forces in Israel and address the Arab community directly instead of mediating through Arab leaders.

The extremist leader also aims to come down heavily on African asylum seekers and foreign citizens permanently residing in Israel. In case he takes over as minister of internal security, he will be responsible for the police apparatus and the Israeli policy in the holy places in Jerusalem, especially the Al-Aqsa Mosque, Middle East Monitor
