Michael Guzovsky, also known as Michael Guzofsky and Yekutiel Ben-Ya'acov , is an American-Israeli follower of Rabbi Meir Kahane. He lives in the settlement of Kfar Tapuach in the West Bank. He and several other American immigrants stepped up TNT's violence in 1983 arson, beatings, and on March 4, 1984, shooting a bus of Arab workers near Ramallah, wounding six. Guzovsky was charged with four others, one of whom was to testify for the prosecution but fled. Guzovsky was acquitted while the others were convicted. Guzovsky continued in leadership roles in Kahane Chai (an offshoot of Kach) and was jailed several times in later violence. When Rabin was assassinated in 1995, Guzovsky stated that "Rabin was bad for Jews" and said of Yigal Amir, that "An intelligent man, one like this law student, had to act."

He has organized peaceful resistance against the dismantlement of settlements.

According to the British Government, Guzovsky is a Jewish militant and is on the list of individuals banned from entering the United Kingdom.
