"Mr. Prime Minister, after Hamas has once again rejected the proposed deal, there is no more excuse—for anyone," Israel's public security minister said.
Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday to “annihilate” Hamas in Gaza after the terrorist organization reportedly rejected U.S. Mideast Envoy Steve Witkoff’s latest proposal for a hostages-for-ceasefire deal.
“Mr. Prime Minister, after Hamas has once again rejected the proposed deal, there is no more excuse—for anyone—to continue this stagnation in Gaza. We have already missed enough opportunities,” Ben-Gvir tweeted.
“It’s time to go in with full force—to destroy, to kill and to annihilate Hamas,” he said, referencing the decree against the Jews in Persia in the mid-fourth century BCE, as mentioned in the book of Esther (3:13).
