Ben-Gvir Calls for Mass Gaza Strikes | Lubbock News

Israeli Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has sparked outrage by suggesting Israel should kill 30-40 people in Gaza every night, calling some “not worthy of life,” while criticizing Netanyahu’s strategy and pushing for mass Palestinian emigration from Gaza — a move legal experts warn could constitute ethnic cleansing. His inflammatory remarks, made during a podcast interview with a former hostage, come as far-right ideologies gain momentum ahead of October 27 elections, and as Israel’s military strikes continue to claim over 1,250 lives since a truce. Ben-Gvir, who controls police and prisons, now faces mounting scrutiny over past policies like cutting food rations for Palestinian prisoners, while also clashing with military leadership over strike authority — now limited to the army’s chief of staff. Meanwhile, ceasefire talks stall, with Hamas accepting a deal for disarmament and withdrawal — but only if Israel agrees to a Palestinian state, a condition Israel’s government flatly rejects.
