Smotrich urges Netanyahu to take full Gaza control
Statements by Israeli Finance Minister and Defense Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir call for full control over the Gaza Strip, including imposing military rule and rebuilding Jewish settlements, deeming that the presence of settlements is linked to Israeli security. He emphasized that responsibility and security are connected to the existence of military settlements, urging voluntary migration from the sector, and rejecting Trump's plan that proposed deploying an international force to take over security. He warned that the occupation faces only one option: direct control. These statements come amid ongoing Israeli escalation since October 2023, which has resulted in the death of over 247,000 Palestinians and widespread destruction in Gaza, amid broad international condemnation.
