Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir shared a video on Telegram Tuesday showing construction of a dedicated execution facility for Palestinians, according to Middle East Eye. The video depicted what Ben-Gvir described as a "death row and hanging" facility. The post marked an apparent escalation in rhetoric from the far-right minister, who has previously made inflammatory statements regarding Palestinians.
The disclosure came amid ongoing Israeli military operations in Gaza and the occupied West Bank. Ben-Gvir, who leads the far-right Otzma Yehudit party, has advocated hardline security policies and positioned himself at the hawkish end of Israel's political spectrum. His posting of the construction video drew immediate attention to questions about detention and capital punishment policies under his purview.
