These outlets noted Ben-Gvir's position as National Security Minister and his control over police, prisons, and firearms licensing. They also referenced Yishai Fleisher's characterisation of Ben-Gvir's platform, including the death penalty for murderers and broader gun rights for Jewish Israelis, and his views on immigration. Criticism from Danny Ayalon regarding Ben-Gvir's impact on Israel's international standing was also present in some reports. U-S-NEWS.COM additionally mentioned Ben-Gvir's 2007 conviction for supporting a terrorist organization and inciting racism, noting his campaign's explanation that it stemmed from displaying a sticker of Rabbi Meir Kahane. This report also detailed Fleisher's claims of Ben-Gvir tripling firearms licenses, establishing rapid-response teams, and overhauling the prison system, as well as the Knesset's approval of a death-penalty law. The potential for an uncertain alliance with Netanyahu was also explored, with a mention of recent public exchanges and Ayalon's assessment of Netanyahu's strategic use of
