Are posts about the public quarrel of the Minister of National Security of Israel and the head of Mossad due to a missile strike on Iran?

In June 2025, a video spread through the Telegram channels, which states two high-ranking Israeli officials argue in increased tones about the consequences of exacerbation of the conflict with Iran. We checked the reliability of such publications.

Two men are captured in the video-presumably, the Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir and the head of the National Intelligence Service Mossad David Barnea,-standing in the crowd of journalists. They scream at each other, while reporters remove the conflict. According to the authors of posts with this video, Ben-Gvir says: “Why did you provoke Iran?!”, And Barnea replies: “I did not know that Iran had such missile opportunities!” With the signatures that the skirmish occurred “on the ruins of Tel Aviv” shortly after the recent Iranian strokes on Israel, the video published Telegram channels “Live broadcast • News"(550,000 views at the time of writing this analysis, already deleted)," "#Montyan!"(238,000),"Uncle Glory"(202 000), Win/Win (194,000), "Pozdnyakov 3.0"(167,000, already deleted),"Bankst"(131 000) and others.

The authors of viral publications do not specify when the conflict occurred. They only note that the quarrel was captured on one of the streets of Tel Aviv after the Iranian missile blow. With the help of a reverse search by personnel, the video “Check” was convinced that the video was shot long before Exacerbations of the Iranian-Israeli conflict In June 2025. This video was Published On the page of the Israeli edition of ISRAEL HAYOM on Facebook on March 27, 2022. The video signature says: “The deputy of the Knesset Itamar Ben-Gvir interrupted the speech of the Minister of Public Security Omer Bar Lev at the place of the attack in Hader:“ Shame on you! You are talking about violence ... ”” ”

Indeed, in March 2022, Ben-Gvir was not yet the Minister of National Security-he took this post only a few months later. And at the time of publication of the video, an opponent of Ben-Gvira in this video was responsible for this sphere in the Israeli government-Omer Bar Lev (and not David Barnea, as wrote in Telegram channels).

The terrorist attack in question in the video signature, happened In the Israeli city of Hadera in the evening of March 27, 2022. Two terrorists opened shooting at the bus station and killed two people. Responsibility for the attack Taken The Islamic State.

"Checked" Found And other publications Israeli Media about the conflict between the two politicians at the site of the tragedy. According to the quotes given in them, Ben-Gvir shouted: “Shame on you! You are talking about violence from the [Israeli] settlers, while the Jews are killed! You should be ashamed! ”, And Bar Lev answered:“ No, I am not ashamed. It should be ashamed of it. You are a non -insignificance! "

Although several Telegram channels that have published video skirmishes three years later with filed signatures, later Completed their posts Information that in fact the old video, most of them left publications unchanged.

Thus, although the viral video really captures Itamar Ben-Gvir, his opponent in most Telegram posts is identified incorrectly-they were not the head of Mossada David Barnea, but Omer Bar Lev. The video was shot in 2022 and has nothing to do with the conflict between Israel and Iran.
