Ben Gvir Threatens Violence Over Defense Pick
Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has pledged to burn the body of Yahya Sinwar, the former head of Hamas's political bureau, if he assumes the position of Israeli Defense Minister. He clarified that he intends to change the current security and military approaches if he obtains the position. He also vowed to burn the bodies of those he described as “October 7 terrorists” held by Israel. These remarks come as part of Ben-Gvir's efforts to compete for the Defense Ministry seat after the elections scheduled for October 27, with a plan to change policies in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. In preparation, he appeared in a video during shooting practice in front of pictures of Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis leaders. He announced the issuance of around 300,000 new gun licenses during his tenure, expanding the areas eligible for obtaining them, amidst internal controversy over firearm distribution policies in Israel. Ben-Gvir's statements regarding Sinwar's body align with his hardline stance, having previously threatened to execute a Palestinian prisoner. These remarks underscore his tendency toward more severe actions if he takes on the role of Israel’s Defense Minister.
