Protesters at an event held at Tel Aviv University disrupted a speaking appearance by far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, forcing him off the stage, witnesses said.
The interruption occurred during a public engagement that had drawn attention because of Ben-Gvir's polarizing role in the government. The minister, who leads the Otzma Yehudit faction and serves as national security minister in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's cabinet, has frequently been the target of protests since taking up a senior security portfolio.
The disturbance highlighted ongoing tensions surrounding the presence of prominent political figures on university campuses and in public forums. Demonstrations against Ben-Gvir and other controversial officials have become a recurrent feature of Israel's fractious political landscape.
An immediate response from event organisers and authorities was not available. The disruption is likely to feed into wider debates over public order, freedom of expression and the role of academia as a venue for political speech in Israel.
