Ben Gvir Faces Protests in Lehavim Ahead of Party Event
National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir faces fierce protests in Lehavim from Dr. Maayan Sherman, mother of fallen hostage Ron Sherman, ahead of a planned party event.
National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir is scheduled to visit the southern town of Lehavim on Tuesday for an event hosted by his "Otzma Yehudit" party. The planned visit has sparked fierce opposition from Dr. Maayan Sherman, a resident of Lehavim and the mother of fallen soldier Ron Sherman, who was held hostage.
In a social media post, Sherman sharply criticized the visit, writing that the minister is being welcomed as a guest of honor by the local council head. She stated her intention to actively protest his arrival and mobilize local opposition to the political gathering.
The event is slated to take place at the Lehavim youth club, where Itamar Ben Gvir is expected to meet with local residents. Security preparations are underway as municipal authorities and local activists respond to the escalating tensions surrounding the controversial visit.
