Senior Israeli official calls for killing of "30 to 40" Gazans every night
Israel's far-right national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir calls for nightly "targeted assassinations" in Gaza: "They're not even people."
Far-right Israeli security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has called for the targeted assassination of 30 to 40 Gazans each night in a recent podcast. Discussing Israel's response to the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attack, Ben-Gvir stated, "It's no secret, I disagree with the prime minister... I think targeted assassinations should be carried out in Gaza, taking down 30 to 40 every night."
He also expressed his belief that some Gazans are not worthy of life and should be eliminated. Ben-Gvir, a follower of Kahanism, previously held a hostage in Gaza as his first public act. He has been involved in various controversies, including being convicted of inciting racism and facing sanctions from several countries for inciting violence against Palestinians.
