- Ben-Gvir warned that any attempt to harm him will be met with a swift and decisive response at any time and place, expressed gratitude to the security forces, and reiterated his determination to maintain a tough approach against terrorism.
- This foiled attempt underscores the persistent threat Hamas poses to Israeli leaders and reinforces the ongoing security vigilance amid the continuing conflict in Gaza.
