"Itamar Ben-Gvir: The face of Israel’s hard right — or the face of Israel?
Despite internal criticism, analysts argue Ben-Gvir holds a mirror to much of Israeli society.
In recent weeks, Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has shown the world a version of “modern Israel” it had preferred not to see.

Member of the Knesset, Ofer Cassif, who had questioned Ben-Gvir’s eligibility to stand for election, gave Al Jazeera a personal account of the politician that starkly contrasts with the affable persona presented by some sections of Israeli media.
“I’ve never seen Ben-Gvir laugh or joke. He’s a bully, but the kind of schoolyard bully who shuts up as soon as the teacher raises their voice,” he said.“Ben-Gvir is a violent man. I mean, he has convictions for supporting terrorism and had a picture of Baruch Goldstein on his wall.”
