The leader of Israeli far-right party Otzma Yehudit, Itamar Ben-Gvir, has called on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to bomb aid depots in Gaza as a strategy to pressure Hamas, according to a report from the Times of Israel.
During a weekly faction meeting in the Israeli Knesset Ben-Gvir, who resigned from his post as National Security Minister in protest at the agreement of a Gaza ceasefire, said that Israel should bomb aid depots to “suffocate Hamas and make it surrender and return all out hostages.”Â
“To make this happen, Gaza must endure hell. And hell also means bombing all the aid depots that Hamas holds”, he said, adding that this also including halting electricity and water supplies to the enclave.
He also called on Netanyahu to go back to war in the enclave, and said that Israel should tell Hamas that “harming an Israeli hostage will be met with the execution of terrorists in Israeli prisons through emergency regulations, and the permanent imposition of sovereignty over large areas in the Gaza Strip.”
