❗️Ben-Gvir vows to burn Yahya Sinwar's body if appointed war minister

Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir vowed on Tuesday to burn the body of former Hamas political bureau chief Yahya Sinwar and the bodies of Palestinians alleged to have taken part in 7 October if he is appointed war minister after Israel's upcoming elections.

"After I get the defense portfolio, I will make sure to burn Sinwar's body and the bodies of the October 7th terrorists. As Defense Minister, I will lead a significant change in approach," Ben-Gvir said in an interview with Israeli public broadcaster Kan Reshet Bet.

Ben-Gvir has repeatedly demanded Israel's war ministry portfolio and recently outlined plans including encouraging what he calls "voluntary emigration" of Palestinians from Gaza and the occupied West Bank, disarming the Palestinian Authority and expanding Israeli settlement in Gaza.
