National Union MK Rabbi Dr. Michael Ben-Ari on Thursday said the recent election results prove that Israelis agree with the extreme right-wing views of the late Rabbi Meir Kahane.
Ben-Ari was recently quoted as calling himself a Kahane disciple, declaring that Israeli Arabs should be expelled to places like Venezuela and Turkey. He was also quoted as saying that IDF soldiers were obligated to refuse orders to evacuate settlements.
"Rabbi Kahane made long inroads and I think the Israeli public in these elections gave an unequivocal answer as to where it is turning," said Ben-Ari in an interview with Army Radio.
Ben-Ari confirmed reports that claimed he will employ far-rightists Baruch Marzel and Itamar Ben-Gvir as his assistants in the Knesset, calling them great lovers of Israel.
Ben-Ari also told Army Radio that he would be happy to serve as Interior Security Minister.
"Someone has to create order with regard to a few matters, and I wouldn't object to filling those shoes," he said, but added he realizes the chances of that are slim as he is currently fourth on his party's list of candidates.
