National security head hid from protesters, now he’s in hospital after car crash after running red light

Israel’s far-right national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has been ‘rushed to hospital’ after a car crash in central Israel, reportedly having run a red light leading to the crash. Middle East Eye has posted Instagram video of the crash scene:

The crash was caught on a safety camera at the lights:

The crash comes just a day after extremist, who praised illegal settlers who murdered Palestinians as ‘heroes’ and has spoken publicly about ‘clearing’ Gaza for Israeli settlement, refused to leave a building without armed police, out of fear of Israeli demonstrators demanding Israel negotiate the return of captives held in Gaza. Israel has killed at least seventy of its own citizens there during its genocide of Palestinians. Ben-Gvir then tried to cover for his fear by waving as he was hustled into a vehicle for his getaway:

Israeli press are reporting that he is only ‘lightly hurt’, unlike the tens of thousands of Palestinian women and children maimed and murdered under Israel’s apartheid, genocidal regime.
