Ben Gvir Calls for 'Absolute Decisiveness' Against Iran, Lebanon, Gaza
Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir stated on September 30, 2026, that "terrorism is a devil that must not be negotiated with, but must be eliminated." He made these remarks in response to an incident where a Flydubai plane made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia after an attempted downing.
Ben-Gvir praised the "heroic passengers" and asserted that Israel's security concepts must evolve. He criticized a "naive concept" that enemies desire life and should be shown mercy, citing the plane incident as a reminder of a "terrorist" who planned to crash the aircraft with 180 Israelis aboard.
The minister emphasized the need for "absolute decisiveness" against Iran, Lebanon, Gaza, and the West Bank (Judea and Samaria). He reiterated that terrorism is a force that cannot be appeased and must be completely eradicated.
