Prominent Dubai businessman Mohammed Habtoor publicly criticized Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir's calls to kill dozens of Gazans nightly, according to Al-Monitor. Habtoor's rebuke marks a rare pointed statement from an influential Emirati voice against the Israeli official's rhetoric on Gaza operations.
The criticism reflects broader divisions within regional business and political circles over Israel's conduct in the territory. Gulf Arab observers have grown increasingly concerned over the humanitarian toll of the intensifying conflict, with some prominent figures willing to speak publicly against Israeli officials' most inflammatory statements on military operations in Gaza.
