Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir has warned of a growing security threat in Judea and Samaria, stating that "terrorists and hostile elements are training and arming themselves behind the fence." Speaking on the program "Israel HaBoker" with host Tal Meir, Ben-Gvir expressed concern that a scenario of kidnappings or terror attacks could occur in central Israel if the country does not fundamentally change its security approach.
Ben-Gvir criticized his colleagues in the government and cabinet, asserting that he is the only voice advocating for the dismantling of the Palestinian Authority. He argued that while monthly decisions are made to strengthen or preserve the PA, his stance remains firm: Israel must act militarily with determination in Judea and Samaria, similar to operations in Gaza, rather than waiting for further disaster. "I am the only minister in the cabinet who votes to collapse them," he stated, emphasizing the need to learn from the October 7th events and take offensive action.
In a separate part of the interview, Ben-Gvir addressed political developments and discussions surrounding surplus agreements and pre-election collaborations. He expressed concern over the conduct of the Likud party regarding prior agreements made with him and Bezalel Smotrich. Ben-Gvir voiced apprehension that these moves might be intended to facilitate the inclusion of Gadi Eisenkot in a future government and sideline the right-wing bloc. He also commented on Ofer Winter, stating he was concerned by Winter's actions and suggested he should resign.
