National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir on Thursday reiterated his hardline stance on Gaza, stating that the only solution Israel is willing to back is the encouragement of voluntary emigration and the total destruction of Hamas. The remarks were made against the backdrop of legal pressure from Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, who has petitioned the High Court for his dismissal over alleged interference in police operations – a matter The Zioneer has previously reported. Ben-Gvir has long advocated for the emigration of Gaza's population and the re-establishment of Jewish settlements in the Strip, positions he has promoted in past public statements. His comments reflect the ongoing political debate within Israel's right-wing coalition over post-war strategy for Gaza, with no official government policy yet adopted.
