Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir issued a stern warning on Sunday, following a severe attack at the Huza Junction, cautioning against the potential for a broad security campaign in the West Bank. Ben-Gvir criticized the current security approach, urging the government and security establishment to proactively and decisively target terror infrastructure before further tragedies occur. He described the attack as a painful reminder of the cost of a policy that tolerates threats and relies on entities incapable of preventing terror.
Ben-Gvir emphasized that the lessons from the October 7th attacks necessitate a fundamental shift in security strategy, particularly given the escalating threats in the West Bank. He stated that Israel cannot afford to wait for a large-scale violent outbreak before taking significant action, warning that the West Bank could become the focal point of the next conflict. The minister called for preemptive measures, including dismantling terror infrastructure, neutralizing threats, and intensifying operational activity.
Among his key demands, Ben-Gvir called for the dissolution of the Palestinian Authority, the disarmament of its security mechanisms, and the elimination of terror infrastructure in the region. This stance aligns with his long-held view that the security of Israeli citizens requires proactive action rather than reactive responses to attacks. His remarks highlight the ongoing debate regarding the necessary policy in the West Bank, especially concerning the future of the Palestinian Authority and the implications of its dissolution on regional stability.
Ben-Gvir concluded his statement with a clear message: "The blood of our soldiers is not forfeit," reiterating his demand for extensive measures against terror elements to ensure the safety of IDF soldiers and Israeli citizens.
