Israel’s far-right national security minister boasts about “starving Palestinians”
Israel’s far-right national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, has boasted about starving Palestinian in Israeli detention facilities.
In a video released from a seminar held in Israel, Ben-Gvir said, “They wanted me to hand sandwiches to those terrorists. They used to come out fat; today they come in fat and leave thin. That’s how terrorists should come out.”
The far-right settler has been accused of abusing Palestinians held captive by Israel as well as foreigners who were detained by Israeli forces aboard international flotillas that were attempting to break the Israeli siege of Gaza.
In a post on X on Tuesday, Ben Gvir said the Israeli government had approved a budget of 500 million shekels or $1.6m for the country’s internal security agency, Shin Bet to establish a dedicated department to “fight against crime in Arab society”.
Three Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza
Israeli attacks killed at least three Palestinians in Gaza on Tuesday, according to health officials in the territory.
A man was killed and two children injured in an air strike on the al-Mawasi area in Khan Younis. Another Israeli attack also in Khan Younis killed another man, according to medics and a separate attack near Gaza City killed one person and injured five others when tents housing displaced Palestinians were targeted by Israel.
Looking at old photos on his mobile phone, farmer Abu Fares recalled how the Sheikh Ijlin neighborhood of Gaza City was once renowned for its grapevines, fig trees and seasonal crops.
The reality today, though, is very different. Extensive Israeli bulldozing in the neighborhood and across much of Gaza since October 2023 has turned the once-thriving region into a barren wasteland, stripping it of the agricultural elements that supported thousands of families.
That devastated landscape is a double humanitarian tragedy for Gaza’s displaced farmers: During Israel’s genocidal war, they have lost both their homes and their sole source of income as Israeli forces systematically destroy the territory’s farmlands. With a suffocating Israeli siege that prevents the entry of basic farming supplies, the destruction has become a primary driver of the starvation threatening more than two million Palestinians.
