Israel’s Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir publicly advocates for killing “30 to 40” people in Gaza each night, comments that are widely reported as resurfacing online and being shared by Palestinian media. The remarks are described as being made during an interview or discussion connected to a former Gaza-held hostage.
Multiple outlets report that Ben-Gvir makes the statement while speaking with Rom Braslavski, an ex-hostage, on Braslavski’s podcast. The coverage also situates Ben-Gvir within Israel’s political landscape, describing him as an extremist figure in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition and highlighting his far-right background.
While all accounts focus on the same remarks and the context of Ben-Gvir’s appearance with Braslavski, they differ mainly in emphasis. Some outlets foreground the shock value of the “30 to 40” figure; others place more weight on Ben-Gvir’s prominence and historical role within Israel’s far-right fringe. Across sources, the central point remains the same: the call for nightly killings and the speed with which it spread through media channels after its appearance.
