Itamar Ben-Gvir calls for cutting fuel, aid supplies to Gaza instead of cease-fire deal
Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir on Sunday called any cease-fire and prisoner exchange deal with Hamas a “grave mistake.”
Israel is set to send its negotiating team to Egypt on Thursday to resume the Gaza cease-fire and prisoner swap talks with Hamas.
"We are crushing Hamas," Ben-Gvir said. "I listen not only to the opinions of officials in the security cabinet but also to the field commanders."
“Are we now going to strengthen Hamas by attending the talks [in Cairo]? It's a grave mistake by the prime minister."
The extremist minister claimed that the only way to release Israelis held captive by Hamas is through “increasing military pressure.”
“If we cut off their fuel, within a week they would be on their knees. And if we stop the [aid] trucks, within two weeks they would be on their knees. So why are we going to do a deal, especially such an irresponsible deal?” he said.
Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth said early Sunday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing mounting pressure from the US to proceed with a deal with Hamas, even if it means “the fall of his government."
According to the daily, the upcoming round of talks in Cairo is seen as “the last absolute chance” to reach a cease-fire in Gaza and regionally.
