Israeli President Isaac Herzog commented on the X post by National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who wrote that "Hamas ❤️ Biden" and said at a ceremony to mark Victory Day over Nazi Germany that "even when there are disagreements and moments of disappointment between friends and allies, there is a way to clarify the disputes and it is beholden upon all of us to avoid baseless, irresponsible and insulting statements and tweets that harm the national security and the interests of the State of Israel.”

Itamar Ben-Gvir is unmanageable. Fortunately, he has no influence or decision-making power in the ongoing operations in Gaza.

This politician is clearly detrimental to Israel's image.

His career will end at the conclusion of the conflict against Hamas in Gaza.
