NEWS: Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir doubles down on his call for mass killings in Gaza. When confronted on Israeli public channel Kan 11’s Hadashot HaShabbat about the global uproar over his recent statement calling for “40–50 killed in Gaza every day,” Ben-Gvir didn’t walk it back. He smiled and said: “Excellent. Excellent. I prefer that they cry, and that a Jewish mother doesn’t cry over her soldier son.” The host pushed back, telling him he needs to speak responsibly because “we’re dealing with the world too.” Ben-Gvir was unmoved. This comes after his earlier remarks in which he advocated for nightly targeted killings of 30–40 (sometimes referenced as 40–50) people in Gaza, claiming there are people there “who are not worthy of life… They’re not even people.” The original comments already triggered international outrage, condemnation across global media, and sharp criticism from Arab partners and human rights voices. Now he’s openly celebrating the backlash. This is the National Security Minister of a U.S. ally speaking on national television. Dehumanization. Open calls for daily mass killing. Zero remorse.
