In a letter to Netanyahu, Ben Gvir demands that the destruction of Hamas and West Bank organizations be included among the war’s objectives (document)

The extremist Israeli Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, sent a letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in which he demanded that the destruction of Hamas and other organizations in the West Bank be included among the goals of the current war. Ben Gvir pointed out in his letter that "the October 7 massacre was carried out due to a dangerous assumption, and we are now in a state of war on several fronts, one of which is the Judea and Samaria (West Bank) front." Ben-Gvir added in his letter: 'Unfortunately, this hypothesis still exists almost entirely on this front. The movement of the Palestinian Authority residents is free on the roads, and the terrorist organizations are expanding significantly. This is evident from the sharp increase in the attempts of these organizations to carry out bombing attacks, the latest of which was the deadly shooting attack that took place on Sunday, which resulted in the deaths of three Israeli soldiers at the Tarqumiya crossing.' Ben Gvir concluded his let ter by saying: 'Based on the above, I request that a preliminary and necessary decision be made in the next cabinet meeting, which must be implemented immediately, to include the elimination of Hamas and the rest of the terrorist organizations in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) among the objectives of the war.' Ben Gvir also posted on his Facebook account, saying: 'I asked the Prime Minister to include the destruction of Hamas and the rest of the terrorist organizations in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) as one of the objectives of the war. The October 7 massacre was carried out because of a dangerous assumption that must not be repeated in Judea and Samaria. The mistakes must not be repeated. The war on Hamas must include Judea and Samaria as well.' Source: Maan News Agency
