Ben Gvir AI video threatens home demolitions
Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir posted a video using artificial intelligence, showing him ordering the demolition of Palestinian homes that violate regulations. This comes amid a surge in demolition operations across various areas. The statements followed visits and field movements, during which he announced that his government has demolished nearly 10,000 homes since taking office, compared to only 4 previously. These actions coincided with actual demolition operations in East Jerusalem and the Jordan Valley, leading to the displacement of many residents. UN and human rights reports indicate that demolition activities are primarily concentrated in Area C of the West Bank and East Jerusalem, with an intensified pace in recent years. Between 2023 and 2025, an average of 966 structures have been demolished annually, and 1,288 Palestinian facilities were destroyed between January and September of last year. The government justifies these measures as law enforcement and restoring state authority.
