Ben Gvir urges Israel to 'reoccupy Gaza' as he slams Lebanon ceasefire

Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir wrote on X that Israel must "reoccupy Gaza" and impose a  "voluntary emigration" of Palestinians out of the beseiged enclave. 

Ben Gvir also slammed Israel's ceasefire in Lebanon.

He said the Lebanon deal was "being violated repeatedly" since Wednesday. "We must not stop! We must continue until absolute victory."

Turning to Gaza, he wrote that Israel has "a historic opportunity" to "reoccupy the Gaza Strip, and encourage the voluntary emigration of Israel's enemies".
