Israel's National Security Minister Meets Hamas Leader in Prison
Israel's Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, held a face-to-face meeting in prison with Hassan Salameh, a senior Hamas official and associate of Yahya Sinwar and Mohammed Deif. Salameh is identified as having dispatched suicide bombers responsible for deadly attacks on bus line 18 in Jerusalem. For Ben-Gvir, the meeting represented a personal full circle, as he protested on the streets following those same fatal attacks in his youth.
During the encounter, the minister informed the senior terrorist that his life in prison has been drastically altered due to the policies he is implementing. Ben-Gvir emphasized his intention to advance legislation for the execution of terrorists, alongside promoting policies for the emigration of Palestinians from Gaza and the West Bank.
Ben-Gvir stated that Salameh was visibly trembling during their meeting. He reiterated his commitment to ensuring that terrorists like Salameh are executed.
