Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir entered the Tomb of the Patriarchs in Hebron on Tuesday, accompanied by a large group of settlers who reportedly performed prayers inside the holy site. Palestinian reports detailed the minister's visit.
Ben-Gvir's visit coincided with radio interviews where he outlined his intentions should he be appointed the next Minister of Defense. He expressed a desire to change the Israeli security approach, moving away from what he termed a policy of "containment."
During the interviews, Ben-Gvir stated that if he assumes the role of Defense Minister, he would seek to burn the bodies of Yahya Sinwar and Hamas operatives involved in the October 7th attacks. He also declared his intention to promote what he described as "voluntary emigration" from Gaza and the West Bank, linking this to a shift in the government's security strategy.
Ben-Gvir emphasized his goal to end the current policy of containment and implement a new security doctrine. He connected this proposed change in security policy with his plans for Gaza and the West Bank, as well as his pledges regarding the handling of the bodies of Sinwar and the October 7th attackers.
