Not just those who pose an immediate threat \u2014 there are people there who are not worthy of life. They shouldn\u2019t live. They\u2019re not even people.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>Ben-Gvir made the remarks during a conversation with Rom Braslavski, a former Gaza hostage, on Braslavski\u2019s podcast. <!-- -->The discussion centred on Israel\u2019s recovery from the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack, when Ben-Gvir criticised what he described as a recent reduction in Israeli strikes on Gaza.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>Similar remarks by Ben-Gvir and other Israeli officials have previously drawn widespread condemnation and have been cited at the UN\u2019s International Court of Justice as evidence of alleged genocidal intent. Israel has denied allegations that it is committing genocide in Gaza.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>Ben-Gvir does not control Israel\u2019s military and has no authority to order strikes on Gaza. However, after spending decades on the far-right fringes of Israeli politics, he has emerged as one of the country\u2019s most influential figures.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>He oversees key parts of Israel\u2019s security apparatus, including the national police and the prison service, which holds thousands of Palestinians from Gaza and the West Bank. Ben-Gvir has previously boasted about reducing food rations for Palestinian prisoners.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>In 2025, Israel\u2019s top court ruled that the prison service under his leadership was depriving Palestinian inmates of the minimum food required for subsistence.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>Until recently, Israel had been carrying out near-daily strikes on Gaza, with more than 1,250 people killed since an October truce took effect, according to Gaza\u2019s health ministry.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>The Israeli military says the strikes have targeted Hamas militants. The attacks appeared to ease in recent days in what was seen as a quiet concession to US President Donald Trump, after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected the president\u2019s latest push to advance the truce, as cited by news agency AP.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/>Trump\u2019s latest proposal calls for Hamas to gradually surrender its weapons, while Israeli forces halt attacks and begin withdrawing from Gaza.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"29\"\/>Hamas has accepted the plan, but has tied the surrender of its heaviest weapons to the establishment of a Palestinian state, a prospect firmly rejected by Israel\u2019s current government and much of its political establishment.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/>Netanyahu has said Israel will not withdraw from Gaza or alter its position until Hamas is completely disarmed. The deadlock has left other elements of the proposed ceasefire, including the deployment of an international force and plans to rebuild the war-ravaged territory, on hold.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/world\/middle-east\/not-worthy-of-life-israel-minister-ben-gvir-calls-for-killing-30-to-40-people-daily-in-gaza\/articleshow\/133285463.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ben-Gvir calls for more Gaza killings Israeli national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, a lawmaker in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s coalition, publicly called for the killing of \u201c30 to 40\u201d people in Gaza each night, in comments that surfaced on Sunday.\u201cIt\u2019s no secret, I disagree with the prime minister,&#8221;
