Date: 2022

## The fact

The Knesset government table records the appointment. Benjamin Netanyahu is the live counterpart. This run does not mint a cleaner twin.

## Context

Otzma Yehudit entered the coalition after the 1 November 2022 election. He did not sit as every police officer.

1 November 2022 election is parent. 3 January 2023 visit is a child. Keep Itamar Ben-Gvir is sworn minister of national security in the Thirty-Seventh Government on 2022-12-29 separate from neighbouring 29 December 2022 appointment, 3 January 2023 Temple Mount visit, 19 January 2025 resignation, 19 March 2025 return, and 10 June 2025 partner sanctions.

The minister of national security of Israel sits over the police and prison service. He does not sit as every officer on the Temple Mount, as the IDF, as Hamas, or as a UK sanctions listing. Benjamin Netanyahu is the live prime minister; this run does not mint a cleaner twin.

## Evidence and sources

Knesset carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is national-security command: a completed police-ministry appointment after prior incitement convictions.

## What is established and what is not

Established: He was sworn minister of national security on 29 December 2022 in the Thirty-Seventh Government.

Not established: That the oath authorised every later Temple Mount visit as a unique death coefficient, or a unique 7 October integer.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

He took the national-security oath. Knesset recorded it.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Itamar Ben-Gvir is sworn minister of national security in the Thirty-Seventh Government, not a later speech about Itamar Ben-Gvir is sworn minister of national security in the Thirty-Seventh Government.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. Itamar Ben-Gvir is sworn minister of national security in the Thirty-Seventh Government on 2022-12-29 is not a licence to treat every later Knesset communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average Itamar Ben-Gvir is sworn minister of national security in the Thirty-Seventh Government into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to Netanyahu formed the government. He took the national-security oath. Knesset recorded it. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
