Following a severe attack at the Huza Junction, Israel's Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, issued a stark warning about the potential for a broad security campaign in the West Bank. Ben-Gvir criticized current security approaches, 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 unable to prevent terror.
Ben-Gvir emphasized that the lessons from the October 7th attacks necessitate a fundamental shift in security strategy, particularly given escalating threats in the West Bank. He asserted 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 major confrontation. His proposed preemptive measures include striking terror infrastructure, neutralizing threats, and intensifying operational activities.
Key demands from Ben-Gvir include dismantling the Palestinian Authority, disarming its security forces, and eliminating terror infrastructure in the region. This stance aligns with his long-held view that Israeli civilian security requires proactive measures 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 potential impact of its dissolution on security stability.
Ben-Gvir concluded his statement with a clear message: "The blood of our soldiers is not forfeit," reiterating his call for extensive action against terror elements and for ensuring the safety of IDF soldiers and Israeli citizens.
