Israel’s far-right security minister to visit Yale day after Mar-a-Lago dinner

Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel’s far-right national security minister, unexpectedly attended a Yale University event hosted by Donald Trump despite his previous conviction of supporting terrorism. His remarks during the event called for harsh measures against Palestinian prisoners and positioned the conflict as one where Israel acts to combat terrorist threats while accusing Palestinian prisoners of contributing to attacks on settlers. The incident has drawn significant criticism from major American Jewish organizations, with groups like J Street and The Forward distancing themselves, while Yale has yet to respond.
