Ben-Gvir Wears Noose at Ceremony, Takes Veiled Jab at Netanyahu

National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir wore a noose on his lapel during an official ceremony and made remarks appearing to criticize Prime Minister Netanyahu. "Begin knew what it was like to be persecuted, to have people refuse to be photographed with you on the same stage, to be a loyal partner sitting with you behind closed doors—and then, when the moment of truth comes, to feel the boycott," Ben-Gvir said, drawing parallels to former Prime Minister Menachem Begin's experience.
