Itamar Ben-Gvir: Israeli minister called ‘war criminal’ in extraordinary row with protesters during US visit
Far-right ultranationalist settler Itamar Ben-Gvir travelled to the US, but his visit was dogged by protests. A group of orthodox Jews mistakenly thought a woman was involved in one of the protests and threatened to rape her, chasing her through the streets of New York.
