National security minister Itamar Ben Gvir said he would displace Palestinians from the occupied West Bank and Gaza if appointed defence minister, Middle East Eye reported. The comments represent an escalation of his calls for Israeli annexation of Palestinian territories.
Ben Gvir has previously advocated for annexing the West Bank. His latest statements signal a hardening position on the displacement of Palestinians and territorial control in the occupied territories.
