Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir sat down with The Daily Wire to discuss why he refuses to be silenced by his critics

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir is a boogeyman to the Israeli Left and Western media due to his extremely hawkish, right-wing views.

He is frequently criticized for advocating for Jews to be allowed to pray on the Temple Mount .

He said he believes the protesters are angry at him for several changes he made in Israel regarding firearm carrying, prison reform, and non-Muslim prayer.

Ben-Gvir said that the Jewish state is helping fight America ’s enemies.

“I think Israel also fights America 's war — our war is not just for Israel ,” he said.

He hopes that the president follows through with his plans to take over Gaza and relocate Gazans .
