Israel’s Ben-Gvir says Hamas ‘playing games’, Israel must ‘destroy it completely’

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has reacted to reports casting doubt on the identity of the most recent remains handed over by Hamas, saying the group “continues to play games” and must be vanquished.

“We no longer need to ‘exact a price from Hamas’ for the violations,” Ben-Gvir said in a post on X. “We need to exact from it its very existence and destroy it completely.”

“Mr Prime Minister, enough hesitation – give the order!” he urged.

As we’ve reported, Israeli media said a casket Hamas transferred to Israeli authorities via the Red Cross on Monday night does not appear to contain the remains of any of the 13 remaining captives in Gaza. Instead, it is suspected to hold additional remains from a captive whose body was already returned.

How are they playing games? Hamas can't do DNA tests on the ground, Egyptian experts are working with Hamas now.

Netanyahu etc knew full well how impossible a task it would be to find the remains among / under the bombed out buildings, captives killed with those guarding them, no central command to keep track. 

Whether Trump knew this or not, Netanyahu made sure that the 'peace' plan can never advance past phase 1 / the return of the living captives.


Netanyahu to consider actions after issue with Hamas captive transfer

Israel’s Arutz Sheva media reports that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will hold a meeting later today to weigh possible responses to what the government considers ceasefire violations by Hamas, amid reports that the most recent remains handed to Israel do not match any of the 13 remaining captives.

It is unclear what time the meeting will take place or what responses are on the table.

Israel itself has been accused of repeatedly breaching the ceasefire conditions, including by carrying out deadly attacks in Gaza and not allowing enough aid into the enclave.

Lemme guess, keeping Rafah closed, restrict aid further. This 'peace' plan is never going to advance past the yellow line, 53% of Gaza permanently occupied while Israel keeps demolishing/erasing Gaza further.
