Presumed incoming prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Otzma Yehudit Itamar Ben Gvir swipe at each other amid ongoing talks to form a new government, in which the far-right lawmaker is set to serve as minister in charge of police. Channel 12 news reports remarks the two made in 'closed conversations,' with Netanyahu saying Ben Gvir needs to rein in his fiery comments. 'Ben Gvir needs to calm down. He needs to internalize that he is the public security minister. He can't express himself like an opposition MK,' Netanyahu is quoted as saying.
