Ben Gvir says Netanyahu is at a 'crossroads'

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is at a crossroads and should choose between his path or that offered by opposition leaders Yair Lapid and Benny Gantz. 

"There is a path for the small cabinet, the path of the [existing] conception, which has proven its mistakes time and again - and there is the path of [his party] Otzma Yehudit, a path of crushing Hamas and stopping giving them fuel," Ben Gvir said at a party meeting, according to Haaretz. 

"I hope that the prime minister of Israel will decide and choose the path of Otzma Yehudit, not the path of Lapid and Gantz," he added. 

Ben Gvir also doubled down on his criticism of the US, urging President Joe Biden's administration to "stop pressuring" Israel.
