Assessment
A public ceremony meant to showcase national unity has instead exposed fresh tensions inside Israel's governing coalition. Ben Gvir's allies are accusing Netanyahu of deliberately avoiding physical contact and a joint photo at the Altalena findings event, interpreting the snub as a signal that the prime minister is pivoting toward Gadi Eisenkot. The complaint carries real political weight: Ben Gvir's faction delivered Netanyahu four years of coalition stability, and they now feel discarded. Watch whether this escalates into a public breach or gets smoothed over behind closed doors.
