Israeli far-right minister Itamar Ben-Gvir sparked outrage with recent comments advocating for the targeted killings of Palestinians in Gaza, even those not posing an immediate threat. In a podcast interview, he suggested dozens of “liquidations” nightly and questioned the worth of Palestinian lives, also reiterating calls for their expulsion from Gaza. Experts condemn his statements as potentially inciting war crimes, while reactions within Israel are divided, with some dismissing him as inconsequential and others expressing disbelief. Despite domestic apathy for some, Ben-Gvir’s growing political power—rising from a fringe figure linked to extremist ideologies—is raising concerns about a significant shift to the right within the Israeli government. His rhetoric is prompting fears of escalating violence and undermining diplomatic efforts. The statements were made during an interview with a survivor of the Nova festival attack, adding another layer of sensitivity to the situation.
