š®š± Israelās Right-Wing Faces New Rivalry Over Irgun Legacy
The discovery of the wreckage of the Irgunās arms ship Altalena, sunk in 1948, has sparked a fresh political rivalry between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.
Both politicians are seeking to associate themselves with the legacy and symbolism of the Irgun, a Jewish paramilitary group involved in violence during the 1948 war.
