Israeli far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir stated in a podcast released on Saturday evening that Israeli forces should deliberately kill 30 to 40 Palestinians every night in the Gaza Strip. According to available articles, he did not speak only about individuals who pose an immediate threat. hnonline.sk ↗
Ben-Gvir spoke in an interview with former Israeli hostage Rom Braslavsky, who was held in Gaza. The minister supported the continuation of targeted killing and referred to Palestinians as people unworthy of life. Several articles report that he also used the phrasing that "they are not even people." The statement attracted particular attention because it came from a member of the Israeli government responsible for national security. kultura.pravda.sk ↗
Reactions to his words were critical. The Israeli Jewish community in Vienna, according to one source, called them a disgrace. An Iranian diplomat, according to another source, interpreted them as a confession. International media meanwhile placed the statements in the context of the ongoing war in Gaza and discussions about possible peace negotiations. zpravy.aktualne.cz ↗
Ben-Gvir is among the most radical members of the Israeli government and has long advocated for a harder line against Palestinians. His latest statements may further increase pressure on the Israeli cabinet at a time when further developments in the war and negotiations on its termination are being monitored. hnonline.sk ↗
