Israel’s Ben Gvir advocates killing ’30 to 40' people in Gaza nightly while speaking to ex-hostage
The minister also urged mass emigration of Palestinians from Gaza and resettlement of the territory by Israel, drawing renewed condemnation.
- On Sunday, National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir publicly advocated for killing "30 to 40" people in Gaza each night during a podcast interview with Rom Braslavski, a former Gaza-held hostage.
- Ben-Gvir's comments followed reports that strike authority is now limited to the army chief of staff, a policy shift reflecting a quiet concession to President Donald Trump that angered the minister.
- In the same interview, Ben-Gvir advocated for mass emigration of Palestinians and renewed Jewish settlement throughout Gaza, declaring, "I see all of Gaza as ours."
- Ideologies like Ben-Gvir's are surging in popularity among Israelis ahead of the October 27 elections, though Israel denies international accusations of genocidal intent regarding its Gaza conduct.
- Although Ben-Gvir does not control the military, he oversees police and prisons and remains one of the country's most influential figures within Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition.
