Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has publicly called for the nightly killing of 30 to 40 individuals in the Gaza Strip. The remarks, reported by AP, advocate for targeted assassinations within the besieged Palestinian territory.

Ben-Gvir articulated his stance by stating, "I think targeted killings should be carried out in Gaza, eliminating 30 to 40 of them every night. Not just those who pose a direct threat โ€“ there are people there who don't deserve to live. They aren't even human."

While Ben-Gvir does not hold authority over the Israeli military, his influential position within the Israeli government is significant. He oversees the police and the prison system, which currently detains thousands of Palestinians from Gaza and the West Bank.

Furthermore, Ben-Gvir expressed his view that Palestinians should be expelled from Gaza. "I see all of Gaza as ours. As many Gaza residents as possible should be encouraged to emigrate, sent to their countries. There is no emigration for terrorists, they should just be killed one by one," he declared.
