National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir spoke at an event honoring the Chabad movement in the Knesset today (Monday), during which he responded to the latest criticism of the Israeli government by US President Joe Biden.

"The things that US President [Joe] Biden said yesterday, the US is a wonderful friend to us and we love [the Americans]. But I say from here to President Biden: The Land of Israel is for the People of Israel, according to the Torah of Israel," Ben-Gvir said.

"We will not compromise on the Land of Israel, we will not compromise on any hilltop or on any outpost. It is ours," he added.

Turning to the issue of the government's efforts to pass judicial reform legislation, Ben-Gvir said that not only should the bill restricting the court's use of the reasonableness standard, which is set to be advanced today, be passed, but so too should the bills reducing the powers of the attorney general and changing the composition of the judicial selection committee.

"All these things will bring governance, security, and victory to the people of Israel," he said.

Yesterday, during an interview with CNN's Fareed Zakaria, President Biden claimed that the current Israeli government is the "most extreme" he has ever dealt with.

“It’s not all Israel now in the West Bank, all Israel’s problem, but they are a part of the problem and particularly those individuals in the cabinet who say, ‘We can settle anywhere we want. They have no right to be here, etc.,’” Biden said. “And I think we were talking with them regularly, trying to tamp down what’s going on, and hopefully, Bibi will continue to move toward moderation and change.”
