But many in Israel do not want to proceed with the Trump-backed plan.
Powerful National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir condemned efforts to advance the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas.
Speaking on a podcast hosted by Rom Braslavski, who was one of the last living hostages released from captivity after the Hamas-led Oct. 7, 2023, attacks, he called for the “targeted” killing of “30 or 40” people in Gaza every night.
Israel’s near-daily strikes have killed around 1,200 people in Gaza since the ceasefire began, according to the health ministry in the enclave.
The Israeli military says it is targeting Hamas militants. At least four Israeli soldiers have been killed in Gaza in that same time, according to Reuters.
“It’s no secret that I disagreed with the prime minister,” Ben-Gvir said on a podcast hosted by Rom Braslavski — one of the last living hostages released from captivity after the Hamas-led attack in 2023. “I think we need to carry out targeted killings in Gaza — take out 30 or 40 every night.”
“Not just those who pose a threat to you at that particular moment,” Ben-Gvir continued. “There are people there who are not human beings. They don’t deserve to live. They’re not even people. I’m paying them a compliment by calling them people.”
The comments reflected similar statements made by Israeli officials throughout the conflict in Gaza, some of which have been cited in a case before the United Nations’ International Court of Justice accusing Israel of genocide in its military campaign. The U.S. and Israel have staunchly rejected the accusation.
Ben-Gvir also called for the mass emigration of Palestinians from the enclave, saying on the podcast that “I see all of Gaza as ours.”
His comments come days after Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced that he had ordered the Israeli military to draw up plans to hand over security operations in the West Bank, including the policing of Israeli settlers, to the Israel Police, over which Ben-Gvir has parliamentary oversight.
Israeli settlers have been besieging homes in the Palestinian village of Qusra for more than a week, with the Israeli military failing to end the violent intimidation campaign.
The siege earned a rare rebuke from Huckabee, who branded the settlers “Israeli terrorists” and described their “horrific act of terror” as “disgusting.”
Settler attacks in the West Bank have been on the rise since the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks, in which some 1,200 people were killed and around 250 taken hostage.
Since then, more than 73,000 people, including thousands of children, have been killed in Gaza, according to the Palestinian health ministry in the enclave, with much of the territory destroyed.
