Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir the European Union's decision to cancel the "Europe Day" event due to Ben-Gvir's intention to make a speech as a representative of the Israeli government. Ben-Gvir said: "It is a shame that the European Union, which claims to be a tower of democratic justice, practices suppression. The State of Israel alone will determine who are its representatives, who are its speakers. The Europeans should understand, we respect them, but we will face our fate. We will determine who the speakers are and we will be the ones who run the Israeli government. Not any other factor.''
