Israel's far-right national security minister Itamar Ben Gvir has escalated his election campaign with inflammatory tactics, according to Al-Monitor. His team distributed gun-shaped keychains to high school students and released a promotional video threatening to "put to death" a Palestinian inmate, marking an unusually aggressive approach to Israeli electoral politics.
The campaign reflects Ben Gvir's positioning as a hardline figure willing to breach conventional political boundaries. His national security ministry role gives the effort official prominence as he prepares for upcoming elections.
