Israel’s far-right national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir calls for Palestinians in Gaza to be killed “at night” and says the approach should be carried out nightly, according to reports.
Multiple outlets say Ben-Gvir’s remarks add to ongoing tensions within Israel’s governing political bloc. India Today frames the comments as part of a widening rift involving Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, while other coverage focuses on the substance of Ben-Gvir’s call itself. The statements are directed toward actions in Gaza amid the continuing war there, where Israeli military operations and related violence have drawn sustained international scrutiny.
The reports agree on what Ben-Gvir advocates—nightly killings in Gaza—but differ in emphasis. One outlet highlights the call as a far-right push for a specific pattern of violence, while another focuses on the potential political fallout and strain between key figures in Israel’s leadership.
