Israeli Minister Ben-Gvir Advocates Increased Targeted Killings in Gaza
Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir called for escalating strikes in Gaza, advocating for killing "30 to 40" people nightly, including those he deemed "not worthy of life." Speaking on a podcast with former Gaza hostage Rom Braslavski, he criticized Prime Minister Netanyahu's reduced attacks and supported targeted assassinations. Ben-Gvir, a far-right figure with influence over Israel's police and prisons but no military command, also suggested Palestinians should leave Gaza. Israel denies allegations of genocide linked to such statements.
