Israeli President Isaac Herzog expressed his support on Saturday for the dismissal of National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir from the government.

Herzog said when he went out to the demonstrators who demonstrated in front of his house when he confirmed that he was urging unity, and they asked him, “Does that include Ben Gvir?” He told them, “The Kahanists must be removed from the government.”

This was considered an unprecedented statement by the Israeli president.
