Itamar Ben-Gvir calls for nightly killings in Gaza

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has sparked international controversy following remarks made during a podcast interview with former hostage Rom Braslavski. Ben-Gvir advocated for conducting targeted killings in the Gaza Strip, suggesting that 30 to 40 people should be eliminated every night. He stated that these killings should not be limited to immediate threats, remarking that some individuals in Gaza “do not deserve to live” and are “not even people.”

During the discussion, Braslavski expressed a desire to personally participate in the execution of terrorists, to which Ben-Gvir responded that he would “move heaven and earth” to make such executions happen. The minister also voiced support for the mass emigration of Palestinians from Gaza to facilitate the construction of Israeli settlements throughout the territory, asserting that the entire Gaza Strip belongs to Israel.

These comments have drawn sharp condemnation from various figures. German politician Jürgen Hardt has called for EU sanctions against Ben-Gvir, describing his statements as inhuman. Additionally, Iranian officials and representatives of the Jewish community have criticized the remarks, with some calling for the minister's removal from the government.
