National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, opening a faction meeting of his Otzma Yehudit party, declared a hard line against any ceasefire and vowed that anyone who threatens Israeli citizens will face 'an unbearable price.' His remarks come amid ongoing diplomatic activity on the northern front.
National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir opened the weekly Otzma Yehudit faction meeting Monday evening with a stark declaration rejecting further ceasefires. 'No more ceasefire, darling,' Ben Gvir said, using a colloquial term for emphasis. 'Whoever threatens Israeli citizens must know that the price will be unbearable.'
The statement, published on his official channels, continues Ben Gvir's consistent hardline stance against any diplomatic arrangement that would entail ceasefire commitments on the northern front. As The Zioneer has reported in recent weeks, Ben Gvir has repeatedly opposed ceasefire frameworks, including in the context of US-Iran negotiations and the broader Lebanon front.
The minister did not address any specific imminent agreement in his latest remarks, but the phrasing echoes his previous warnings that Israel must not tie its hands militarily in response to threats from Hezbollah and Iran.
