Itamar Ben Gvir, the leader of the Otzma Yehudit party, has formally announced his political objectives for the next government formation. Central to his demands is the position of Defense Minister, a role that would grant him significant oversight of Israel's military and security apparatus. Additionally, Ben Gvir has expressed support for appointing Tally Gotliv to the position of Justice Minister.

Beyond personnel appointments, Ben Gvir has outlined a series of policy shifts. His platform includes a proposal to fire the current Attorney General and to implement a radical restructuring of the judiciary, which he argues is necessary to constrain the court's influence. Furthermore, he has proposed loosening existing constraints on military operations. Perhaps most controversially, Ben Gvir has stated his intent to pursue policies that would 'encourage' Palestinians to leave the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

These demands represent a significant escalation in the political discourse surrounding the next coalition government. While Ben Gvir has been clear about his requirements for joining a future administration, the feasibility of these demands remains a subject of intense debate within the Israeli political landscape. The proposal to alter military rules of engagement and the demographic policies regarding Palestinians are particularly polarizing, drawing criticism from those who view such measures as destabilizing to regional security and democratic norms.
