The United States State Department issued a sharp condemnation after photos emerged of Israel’s National Security Minister, Itamar Ben Gvir, visiting the grave of Rabbi Meir Kahane.
In a strongly worded statement, a State Department spokesperson rebuked the visit, emphasizing the U.S.’s firm stance against the glorification of terrorism.
“As we’ve said in previous and similar occasions, celebrating the legacy of a terrorist and a terrorist organization is abhorrent. We strongly condemn any attempt to whitewash acts of terrorism,” the spokesperson declared.
The photos, which were widely shared on social media and news outlets, depicted Ben Gvir davening at the kever of Rabbi Kahane, whose Kach party was banned from Israeli politics and designated a terrorist organization by both Israel and the United States. Rabbi Kahane was assassinated in 1990.

Bravo Ben Givr.
Crazy. Time and history has proven that “Kahana tzodek”.
He was more of a prophet than a terrorist
Then these idiots fund the Palestinians – because they are not terrorists – just “freedom fighters”
Kol hakoovod to Ben Gvir
How dare they! Isn’t Israel a sovereign country?
Nice to hear the stat department is busy.
Rabbi Meir Kahana Hy”d was not a terrorist, he was a victim of terrorism.
Go ahead and denounce. You can kill the man, but you can’t kill the idea!
And yet, Biden can go to George Floyd’s grave.
