The extremist Israeli Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben Gvir, called for the reoccupation of the Gaza Strip, justifying this by saying that if Israel had been in the Strip, the “massacre” of October 7 would not have occurred, in reference to the “Al-Aqsa Flood” operation announced by the “Hamas” movement.

The minister, who is affiliated with the extremist movement in Israel, considered that former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's plan to disengage from Gaza in 2005 was a grave mistake.

Ben Gvir said in his interview with the “This Morning” program on the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation (Kan) with journalist Aryeh Golan, that “following the evacuation of Gush Katif, reality changed.”

“Gush Katif” was considered the largest Israeli settlement complex in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, which included approximately 21 settlements, before the implementation of the disengagement plan from the Gaza Strip in 2005 during Ariel Sharon’s presidency of the Israeli government, a plan that Ben Gvir sees as a grave mistake. .

The minister, who heads the radical extremist coalition "Otzma Yehudit" party, added: "If the settlers were there (in Gaza), it would not have been possible to carry out such a massacre. When you are in the square, you will have intelligence and control, because you are the owner of the house at that time."

Ben Gvir wrote on his account on the "Liquidate them."

The Israeli Minister of National Security, whose party belongs to the religious Zionist movement, criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday, Saturday, on the "Meet the Press" program on the "News 12" channel.

Ben Gvir said that the Israeli Prime Minister marginalized him after he demanded the implementation of a policy of organized assassinations against Hamas officials.

He stated that Netanyahu and those close to him accused him of seeking to keep the situation burning in the region all the time, adding: "I hope they realize that their concept was not correct."

Ben Gvir admitted, saying: “I bear responsibility because I am a member of this government, but they (the government) did not listen to me. They marginalized me.”

When the interviewer asked him whether Netanyahu should submit his resignation in light of the miserable failure on October 7, Ben Gvir said, “I am certain that in the wake of the war, an account will be opened against everyone, and Netanyahu will provide clear responses. Now I demand the occupation of the Gaza Strip.” .
