Israeli far-right Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has sparked controversy by calling for the targeted killing of 30 to 40 Palestinians every night in the Gaza Strip. In a podcast with former hostage Rom Braslavski, Ben-Gvir criticized the reduction in Israeli attacks and stated that many Palestinians 'are not even human' and 'do not deserve to live.' He also advocated for the reoccupation of Gaza, the establishment of settlements throughout the territory, and the mass expulsion of Palestinians, a move international lawyers say could constitute ethnic cleansing. Ben-Gvir, who oversees Israel's police and prisons but not its military, has gained popularity since the October 2023 Hamas attack. The statements were circulated by Palestinian media but received little coverage in Israeli media.
