Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gavir was involved in a road accident on Friday (April 26), sustaining injuries that required hospital treatment. While his injuries were reported as not serious, Ben Gavir was taken to the hospital for medical attention following the incident, as confirmed by various Israeli media outlets and Reuters.

The accident occurred during the minister's return from the town of Ramli near Tel Aviv. Israeli police have launched an investigation into the incident to determine the cause.

Video footage circulating in Israeli media depicted the overturned vehicle in which Ben Gavir was traveling. Police Commissioner Kabi Sabatai informed reporters that two additional individuals were injured in the accident.

Ben Gavir, a controversial figure within Israeli politics, serves as a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's wartime cabinet. Notably, he has advocated for aggressive measures in response to recent Iranian drone and missile attacks on Israel, including advocating for an all-out attack on Iran.

The incident has drawn attention to the safety of high-profile government officials and underscores the importance of road safety measures in the region. As investigations into the accident continue, the Israeli public remains vigilant regarding the well-being of its political leaders.
