Israel should consider placing two right-wing extremist groups accused of violence towards Palestinians and chanting “death to Arabs” on its “terror” list, Defence Minister Benny Gantz said on Monday.
“I believe it is time to examine defining groups like La Familia and Lehava as terror groups, and I know the issue is being presented to security forces,” Mr Gantz said during a faction meeting of his Blue and White party.
Thousands of flag-waving Israelis on Sunday marched through Jerusalem's Old City during a nationalist procession marking Israel's 1967 capture of East Jerusalem.
Some marchers chanted “death to Arabs”, as a number of Palestinians hurled projectiles from the rooftops.
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett ordered police to show “zero tolerance” towards Jewish extremists who planned to “incite” tensions, singling out La Familia.
Foreign Minister Yair Lapid described Lehava and La Familia as a “disgrace” who weren't “worthy of holding the Israeli flag”.
La Familia is a group of fans of Beitar Jerusalem Football Club, notorious for their anti-Arab racism and violence.
Lehava is an extremist right-wing group that fights against fraternisation between Jews and non-Jews that could lead to intermarriage. It is affiliated with the teachings of Rabbi Meir Kahana, whose Kach group is outlawed in Israel.
To designate an organisation as a terror group, one of Israel's security organisations — the Shin Bet internal security agency, police, army or Mossad — must issue a request to the Defence Ministry and receive the consent of the attorney general.
Following the defence minister's approval, the group will receive a three-month temporary designation, during which it can appeal against the decision to the ministry as well as to a special judiciary panel.
If no appeal overturns the decision, the group will then be formally declared a terrorist organisation.
Israeli officials have from time to time previously raised the issue of designating La Familia and Lehava as terror groups, but never gone through with the process.

What is safeguarding?
“Safeguarding, not just in sport, but in all walks of life, is making sure that policies are put in place that make sure your child is safe; when they attend a football club, a tennis club, that there are welfare officers at clubs who are qualified to a standard to make sure your child is safe in that environment,” Derek Bell explains.

KILLING OF QASSEM SULEIMANI
TERMINAL HIGH ALTITUDE AREA DEFENCE (THAAD)
What is THAAD?
It is considered to be the US's most superior missile defence system.
Production:
It was created in 2008.
Speed:
THAAD missiles can travel at over Mach 8, so fast that it is hypersonic.
Abilities:
THAAD is designed to take out ballistic missiles as they are on their downward trajectory towards their target, otherwise known as the "terminal phase".
Purpose:
To protect high-value strategic sites, such as airfields or population centres.
Range:
THAAD can target projectiles inside and outside the Earth's atmosphere, at an altitude of 150 kilometres above the Earth's surface.
Creators:
Lockheed Martin was originally granted the contract to develop the system in 1992. Defence company Raytheon sub-contracts to develop other major parts of the system, such as ground-based radar.
UAE and THAAD:
In 2011, the UAE became the first country outside of the US to buy two THAAD missile defence systems. It then stationed them in 2016, becoming the first Gulf country to do so.
