Israeli protesters have confronted far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and his family in the village of Kiryat Malachi in central Israel, accusing him of being responsible for the deaths of captives held in Gaza due to his stance against a ceasefire deal, Al Jazeera reports.
During the small demonstration, protesters raised pictures of the captives and accused Ben-Gvir of obstructing deals to return those held in the enclave. In turn, the minister accused the protesters of dodging draft orders to join the army.
The protesters accused Ben-Gvir of “leaving the captives to die”, calling him a “draft dodger” because he was barred from serving in the army during his youth because of far-right activities.
