How a Kahanist Teen Became Israel's Police Chief

This episode traces the political anatomy of Itamar Ben-Gvir — from his teenage radicalization in the banned Kach movement to his current role as Israel's National Security Minister. We examine how he rebranded Kahanist ideology for a 2020s audience, and why Prime Minister Netanyahu appears unable to constrain him despite repeated provocations. The answer lies in coalition math, Netanyahu's corruption trial, and a strategic choice that locked the far right into power.
