Ben Gvir condemns return of Palestinians to northern Gaza

Itamar Ben Gvir, Israel’s far-right former national security minister who resigned in protest over the ceasefire agreement, condemned the return of Palestinians to northern Gaza on Monday.

Ben Gvir said in a post on X on Monday that the opening of the Netzarim highway and the entry of tens of thousands of Palestinians into the northern Gaza Strip were the "images of Hamas’s victory and another humiliating part of the reckless deal.

"This is not what ‘complete victory’ looks like – this is what complete surrender looks like," Ben Gvir said.

“The heroic [Israeli] soldiers did not fight and give their lives in the Gaza Strip to make these photos possible. We must return to war – and destroy!”
