Israel’s security minister, controversial far-right politician Itamar Ben-Gvir, was taken to hospital with minor injuries after a car accident, police said.
A video on social media showed that the car Ben-Gvir was traveling in had overturned.
Police said they were investigating the circumstances of the accident and that Ben-Gvir’s daughter, a security guard and a driver were also injured.
His office said the minister was in “good condition” after the accident.
Hebrew media broadcast images of a black car overturned on the road and cited a witness who said the car had run a red light.
Ben-Gvir was in the town of Ramle, near Tel Aviv, visiting the scene of what police said was an alleged stabbing attack.
Central District Police Chief Avi Biton said a 21-year-old man, who was allegedly mentally unstable, had stabbed a 19-year-old woman.
