Israel’s extremist far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has called for the “occupation of the Gaza Strip” and encouraged the expulsion of its residents despite international criticism of such statements. His remarks came in an interview conducted by Israel’s Channel 13. Ben-Gvir, the leader of the far-right Jewish Power [Otzma Yehudit] party, criticised the course of the Israeli war on besieged Gaza, saying: “My critique of the war’s course is clear: progress must be made to bring about a resolution.”
