Far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir says Israel is capable of defying Trump if it needs to as he insists the ceasefire in Lebanon is unacceptable. Responding to a question from Israel’s Arutz Sheva media network, Ben-Gvir said Israel could “of course” reject an appeal from the US president. On Lebanon, he said there should be “no ceasefire” – “under no circumstances”. Ben-Gvir also said the right-wing governing coalition he is a part of could stay in power after Israel’s elections this year, but “we will need to work at it”.
