[56933] Sharp criticism from MK Malinovsky towards Minister Ben-Gvir regarding the death penalty law

Malinovsky against Ben-Gvir: "The only connection to the death penalty is a cake"

Knesset Member Yulia Malinovsky (Yisrael Beiteinu) launched a sharp attack this morning against the Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, against the backdrop of the approval of the Nukhba law in the Knesset plenum. Malinovsky chose to take a jab at the Minister regarding his promises to promote the death penalty for terrorists, a subject that was central to his political platform.

According to a report on the channel Zirat News, MK Malinovsky stated: "The only connection between Ben-Gvir and the death penalty is a cake, and even that is gone now". These remarks were made in the context of criticism regarding the Minister's conduct and his practical achievements on complex security issues.

A similar report also appeared on the channel News in Real-Time on Telegram - Israel's largest news group, which repeated the Knesset Member's exact quote. It appears that Malinovsky's criticism reflects the ongoing tension between the opposition and the Minister of National Security surrounding the issue of handling Nukhba terrorists and the gap between Ben-Gvir's rhetoric and legislation in the field.
