In September, a Hamas terrorist cell from the Hebron area was arrested by Israeli security forces for plotting to assassinate Ben-Gvir using explosive-laden drones.

Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir accompanied Ran Gvili, the father of the last hostage held in Gaza, to a celebration of the life of the famous late Sephardic rabbi and kabbalist Baba Sali.

The bill itself, already approved in first reading, would create a mandatory death sentence for terrorists who murder Israelis in nationalist attacks.

On Monday, the Palestinian Authority condemned attempts by Jewish activist groups to sound the shofar on the Temple Mount, calling the ram’s horn a 'dangerous tool.'

Under the current government, the Temple Mount has seen a surge in Jewish visits and open worship.

Geert Wilders, the leader of the Freedom Party, the country’s largest political party, condemned the sanctions.

The shift follows a meeting held three weeks ago in Ben-Gvir’s office with leaders of Temple Mount advocacy groups.

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar told reporters on Tuesday that the government would call a special meeting early next week and decide how to respond to the 'outrageous, unacceptable decision.'

'The deal will erase the achievements of the war,' said party leader Itamar Ben-Gvir.

The proposal currently being discussed with Hamas reportedly includes significant compromises by Israel and, for the first time, Jerusalem is considering ending the war in the Gaza Strip.

Possible locations scouted for the attack were Teddy Stadium, the largest soccer arena in Jerusalem, and a police station.
