Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir’s political party distributed a book in schools on the first day of the academic year that has sparked outrage. Entitled “The Minister Who Didn't Stop,” the book portrays Ben Gvir in a positive light while depicting Arab members of Knesset as an “enemy.” The distribution occurred at dozens of locations, and the book also features a depiction of the Attorney General cursing Ben Gvir. Critics denounce the move as a blatant attempt at political indoctrination and incitement within the education system. The book's content is fueling concerns about escalating tensions and further marginalization of Arab voices in Israeli politics. The Times of Israel first reported on the controversial distribution.
