Core Event – Book Release at Party Conference
The far-right Otzma Yehudit party will unveil a children’s book titled “The Minister Who Didn’t Stop” at its conference in Netanya on September 1. The launch coincides with the start of the new school year, and the party plans to distribute copies to students nationwide. The book is described as a summary of National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir’s achievements in his ministerial role and as party chairman.
Background & Context – Political Climate and Sanctions
Ben-Gvir, a prominent figure in Israel’s nationalist bloc, has recently faced sanctions from several European governments, including France and Ireland, over his statements on Palestinians and alleged mistreatment of prisoners. These diplomatic actions have heightened scrutiny of his domestic political activities. Within this environment, Otzma Yehudit’s decision to produce a children’s book signals an effort to shape his public image among younger audiences.
