A series of political clashes were recorded over the last day between Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, causing a stir in the media.
Tension at the top: Sa'ar against Ben-Gvir
The relationship within the government is again in the spotlight, as during May 20, 2026, reports emerged of frontal clashes between Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. The reports, which appeared on several central Telegram channels, indicate political blows that have escalated over the last day.
Right-leaning and coalition-supporting channels, including Yinon Magal, Dafna Liel, and Israel News IL, reported extensively on the conflict under the headline "Foreign Minister Sa'ar against Minister Ben-Gvir's show." According to Yinon Magal, who is identified with positions supporting Netanyahu, the event is perceived as significant friction within the coalition.
Reporter Barak Betesh provided repeated reports on the escalation and even noted that reports about the confrontation began to appear in English-language media as well, which testifies to the great public and media attention the issue is generating. Amichai Stein from the diplomatic channel also documented the exchange, while emphasizing the nature of the verbal confrontation between the two.
The reports in sources such as Hot News illustrate the intensity of the friction, as the use of expressions such as "Ben-Gvir - Gideon Sa'ar" indicates the direct collision between their positions. As of now, this is a series of mutual statements that have yet to conclude, with each side continuing to hold its position in front of the public and the media.
