Controversies surrounding Itamar Ben-Gvir

Overview

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has faced criticism regarding his treatment of Palestinians and his political rhetoric.

Reports have documented Ben-Gvir using footage of the harsh conditions faced by Palestinian prisoners for political purposes. In facilities such as Negev Prison, authorities have reportedly conducted raids to confiscate clothing and Quranic texts, leaving only one Quran for every 15 cells. The Palestinian Prisoners Information Office has characterized these actions as a policy of “collective punishment,” noting significant shortages of food, hygiene supplies, and medical neglect.

Separately, Ben-Gvir has drawn condemnation from Jewish community leaders following remarks made on a podcast. During the broadcast, he called for the targeted killing of “30 to 40” people in Gaza every night, including those not posing an immediate threat, and stated that some individuals in Gaza are “not even human.” He also expressed support for Israeli settlements in the Gaza Strip and the emigration of the Palestinian population.
