Ben-Gvir DEMANDS Abbas Arrest if UN Backs Statehood

Geopolitics News Update: Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to arrest PA President Mahmoud Abbas if the UN advances Palestinian state recognition. His remarks came hours from (and then after) the UN Security Council’s approval of a U.S.-backed Gaza plan that authorizes an international stabilization force and sketches a pathway to Palestinian statehood. In this video, I break down what Ben-Gvir said, how Israeli and Palestinian outlets covered it, and what the new UN resolution actually does—and doesn’t—commit to. I’ll also cover the legal and geopolitical risks if Israel followed through.
What changed at the UN: authorization for an international force in Gaza and language pointing to a conditional path to statehood; Russia and China abstained.
