Ben Gvir: We expect the return of more detainees by force
Resigned National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said on Sunday that "we are expecting more detainees to be returned by force."
"Fuel and aid must be stopped, not surrendered," he added.
In turn, the Minister of Finance in the occupation government, Bezalel Smotrich, confirmed his opposition to the ceasefire deal and the prisoner exchange, saying, "With all my heart, I oppose this deal and I believe that it puts Tel Aviv in danger."
The ceasefire agreement in Gaza came into effect today, Sunday, after 471 days of Israeli occupation massacres in the Strip, which left more than 155,000 Palestinian martyrs and wounded, and more than 11,000 missing.
The "Jewish Power" party, led by the occupation's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, announced its resignation from Netanyahu's government on Sunday.
The Israeli Ministry of Justice announced yesterday, Saturday, that 735 Palestinian prisoners will be released, in exchange for the release of the first batch of Israeli detainees, as part of the first phase of the prisoner exchange and ceasefire agreement between the occupation and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
