Israel should conquer Gaza, send Gazans to France, Ben-Gvir tells ‘Post’ - interview
Ben-Gvir’s far-right Otzma Yehudit party has been a key member of Netanyahu’s coalition. Recent polling has projected Otzma Yehudit to win approximately eight seats in the next Knesset.
Gazan residents should be relocated to other European countries to allow Israel to "conquer the entire territory" of the Gaza Strip, according to far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. In a recent interview with The Jerusalem Post, Ben-Gvir argued that the land belonged to the Jewish people and that encouraging emigration would benefit both the Palestinians and European nations seeking workers.
He cited the October 7 Hamas massacre as evidence that Palestinians no longer have legitimacy to claim their homes, stating that "someone whose home it is does not start a war and massacre children." Ben-Gvir also defended his previous stance against hostage-ceasefire deals during the Israel-Hamas War, claiming that his cabinet should have listened to him more before the attacks occurred.
He expressed pride in his work as National Security Minister, praising the police for their efforts in Arab communities and advocating for the Shin Bet to play a more active role in police operations.
