Israeli politician Pnina Tamano-Shata has accused far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir of verbally abusing and threatening her inside Israel’s parliament. Tamano-Shata, a former minister and the first Ethiopia-born woman to serve in Israel’s cabinet, said Ben Gvir approached her closely and called her “f**ked up and stupid” after she criticised police conduct towards members of the Ethiopian Jewish community. “After I confronted the minister regarding the violent arrests of two children of Ethiopian descent, he pressed up against my face in a violent and threatening manner, even though I asked him to step back,” she wrote on X.
