The Israeli government has approved return of the hawkish minister of National Security, Itmar Ben Gvir, to the cabinet which he left after a ceasefire agreement with Hamas in January.

A statement said the government had "unanimously approved Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's proposal to reappoint" Ben Gvir, who resigned on January 19 to protest a Gaza ceasefire agreement. 
 
The Israeli Broadcasting Authority reported that the government unanimously agreed to reappoint MK Itamar Ben-Gvir as Minister of National Security, MK Amichai Eliyahu as Minister of Heritage, and MK Yitzhak Vassirulov as Minister of the Negev and Galilee.
 
The Knesset is set to vote Wednesday on the decision to reinstate Ben-Gvir, Amichai Eliyahu, and Yitzhak Vassirulov as ministers in the Israeli government.
 
Ben-Gvir's extremist party announced its return to the government after the occupation army resumed its aggression and genocidal war on the Gaza Strip early Tuesday morning. He had resigned after the occupation government ratified the prisoner exchange and ceasefire agreement.
 
The Israeli Broadcasting Authority noted that the decision "was made despite the Attorney General's opposition to Ben-Gvir's return to the government."
 
The Authority stated that the explanation for the Attorney General's opposition is the existence of several petitions submitted to the Supreme Court demanding Ben-Gvir's removal from his position due to his violation of the law.
