‘We must not give them humanitarian aid,’ Israel’s Ben-Gvir tells marchers
Israel’s far-right national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, addressed a large crowd participating in the controversial Jerusalem Day march on occupied East Jerusalem.
Speaking about Israel’s war on the Gaza Strip, Ben-Gvir said: “This victory must be taken further and further… we will enter Gaza and triumph,” The Times of Israel reported.
Ben-Gvir also said he had voiced his objections to Israel lifting its total blockade on food entering the Gaza Strip. “I say to the prime minister, ‘Dear prime minister, we must not give them humanitarian aid. We must not give them fuel…’ Our enemies deserve only a bullet to the head!”
The Israeli finance minister also addressed the crowd of thousands, saying: “Are we settling the land of Israel? Are we liberating Gaza?” to cheers of approval.
