Ben Gvir and two other members of the far-right Otzma Yehudit party have been reappointed to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's cabinet, following a vote in the Knesset. Ben Gvir returns as national security minister, while Amichai Eliyahu becomes heritage minister and Yitzhak Wasserlauf is reappointed as Negev, Galilee, and national resilience minister. Ben Gvir expressed his intention to continue implementing his policies in the Prison Service and the police. The reappointment comes after Otzma Yehudit quit the coalition in January over a ceasefire agreement with Hamas.
