Israel's far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir once again became the focus of backlash with his remarks. Accusing US President Donald Trump of being "extremely naive" regarding Iran, Ben-Gvir completely rejected diplomacy and called for military force. The far-right minister, who deemed the massacre in Gaza insufficient, openly expressed his dream of fully occupying the region and opening it to settlement.

Israel's far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir rejected calls for diplomacy and reiterated his scandalous vision for the full occupation of Gaza, making statements targeting U.S. President Donald Trump.

CRITICISM OF TRUMP'S "NAIVETY"

Speaking at the National Security Conference organized in collaboration with the Yedioth Ahronot newspaper and the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS), the leader of the Jewish Power Party, Ben-Gvir, criticized U.S. policy on Iran.

Arguing for greater military pressure, the Israeli minister stated, "There needs to be more effort. I hope U.S. President Donald Trump is convinced to abandon his naivety. He is a businessman and is extremely naive on Iran."

"NO ROOM FOR DIPLOMACY WITH IRAN, FORCE IS A MUST"

Ben-Gvir called for immediate military strikes against Iran, completely shutting the door on negotiations. The far-right minister said, "There is no room for diplomacy with them, and there is nothing to talk about with them. Force must be used against the Iranians," demanding escalatory steps.

DIRTY PLAN FOR GAZA: EXILE AND ANNEXATION

In his remarks, Ben-Gvir also addressed the attacks and occupation steps in the Gaza Strip, claiming that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been "doing good work" and stated that they currently control 63 percent of Gaza's territory.

Seeking voter support in upcoming elections, Ben-Gvir argued for the forced displacement of Palestinians, saying, "We have killed 40,000 people who support Hamas, but that is not enough. We need to crush them and encourage emigration."

"THE DREAM OF OCCUPYING GAZA

Ben-Gvir stated that Gaza must be fully occupied and opened to Israelis who have usurped Palestinian lands, expressing his occupation dream in these words:

"My dream is to have police neighborhoods, military neighborhoods, and officer housing in Gaza. If we are not there, Hamas will be there. Civilians will also be able to live there."

THE DREAM OF ESTABLISHING POLICE NEIGHBORHOODS AND SETTLEMENTS IN GAZA

The toll of Israel's devastating attacks on the Gaza Strip since October 2023 worsens every day. More than 73,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed, and approximately 174,000 people have been injured.
