National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has announced an initiative to establish a 'crocodile prison' for Nukhba (Hamas) terrorists, drawing inspiration from a similar measure reportedly taken by US President Donald Trump in Florida. As a first step, Environmental Protection Minister Idit Silman signed a declaration that will permit the Israel Prison Service (IPS) to keep Nile crocodiles, a species that can be used as a deterrent. As The Zioneer reported earlier this evening, the IPS was already expected to be allowed to keep crocodiles around a prison for security prisoners per an agreement between Ben Gvir and Silman. The declaration formalizes that arrangement. The initiative has drawn attention for its unusual approach and is part of broader efforts to tighten conditions for terrorists convicted of the October 7 attacks.
