'All of Lebanon must burn,' Israeli minister says
Ben-Gvir’s post drew broad condemnation after four Israeli soldiers were killed in a Hezbollah fight and Israel pressed ahead with strikes.
- On Friday, Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir sparked widespread condemnation by declaring "all of Lebanon must burn" following the death of four Israeli soldiers in a conflict with Hezbollah.
- Defending his stance, Ben-Gvir wrote, "For every tear of an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese mothers must weep," while explicitly rejecting calls for "measured responses and restraint."
- Journalists and officials denounced the remarks, with Jake Tapper labeling the minister an "anti-Arab racist zealot," while British journalist Owen Jones remarked that Ben-Gvir's rhetoric "sounds like a Nazi."
- Former Scottish National Party leader Yousaf argued the post should end questions regarding the current Israeli government's nature, while others accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of prioritizing personal political ambitions.
- Amid pressure from President Donald Trump, Israel and Hezbollah entered a ceasefire, yet Trita Parsi of the Quincy Institute stated the minister's comments complicate Western efforts to achieve regional peace.
