Zwei Monate vor der Parlamentswahl in Israel deuten sich Risse im Regierungslager an. Die Likud-Partei von Ministerpräsident Benjamin Netanyahu übte am Freitag scharfe Kritik am rechtsextremen Sicherheitsminister Itamar Ben Gvir, weil dieser eine gemeinsame Wahlliste mit Finanzminister Bezalel Smotrich ablehnt. Ben Gvir hatte kürzlich mit Äußerungen über die gezielte Tötung von Palästinensern in Gaza für internationale Aufregung gesorgt.
Israel's far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir speaks during the funeral of Israeli hostage Ran Gvili, whose remains were finally brought back to Israel on January 26, in the southern town of Meitar on January 28, 2026. Hundreds of tearful mourners packed a stadium in southern Israel on January 28, 2026, for the funeral of Ran Gvili, the last Gaza hostage whose burial marks the end of a painful national saga triggered by Hamas's 2023 attack. Israeli forces on January 26 brought home the remains of Gvili, who was killed in action and whose body Palestinian militants took into Gaza during their October 7 attack, which triggered a devastating two-year war.
