❗️Israeli national security minister demands the Shin Bet arrest Arab lawmakers, calls for stripping voting rights In a post on social media, Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir publicly demanded on Thursday that the Shin Bet security agency immediately arrest leaders of Palestinian political parties in Israel, claiming without evidence that the election results were "stolen." Following parliamentary election tallies that saw record turnout among Palestinians with Israeli citizenship, the cabinet minister asserted that "the Shin Bet must arrest all those involved, including the heads of the Arab parties," while calling to strip non-loyal citizens of their fundamental democratic rights. "The Shin Bet must arrest all those involved, including the heads of the Arab parties who stole the elections here. Today must be clearer than ever: Whoever is not loyal to the State of Israel - it is forbidden to give him the right to vote," he wrote. The inciteful statements come as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his coalition partners face political deadlock following parliamentary elections, with Palestinian political factions potentially holding crucial seats in the prospective assembly.
