MK Itamar Ben-Gvir responded to Yair Lapid, who said that "Itamar Ben-Gvir is not religious but extremist."
"I am extreme in the love of Israel, in the love of IDF soldiers and in the love of the state. Yair Lapid should be ashamed of his words, but I am not surprised to hear them from someone who at who embraces the Muslim Brotherhood. I am proud to attend the memorial service for a Jew who gave his life for the state. Lapid goes to the memorials of Al-Kharomi and I to Rabbi Kahana who was murdered. Those who pity the cruel, despise the lovers of Israel," said Ben-Gvir.
