Far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has again openly declared Israel’s intent to “wipe out” all of Gaza, during election tours that he and far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir are conducting at festivals and rallies across Israel to collect votes ahead of the upcoming elections.

In their speeches, the two ministers are stating their plans for the full ethnic cleansing of Gaza and the occupied West Bank and the annexation of the land.
