What happened

In a taped interview, the far-right national security minister also advocated for encouraging the mass emigration of the Gaza Strip, saying he views the territory as entirely Israeli.

Why it matters

An extremist Israeli lawmaker in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition publicly advocated for killing “30 to 40” people in Gaza each night, comments that surfaced on Sunday, and were quickly shared by media outlets around the world.

Common ground

Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir made the statement while speaking to a former Gaza-held hostage, Rom Braslavski, on his podcast.

Perspective signals
