Ben Gvir calls for ‘death penalty for terrorist’ on a visit to prison holding Palestinians

Описание: In a video shared on Israel news outlets, far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir is seen visiting a prison holding Palestinians whom Israel claims participated in Hamas’ October 7 attacks.

Ben Gvir opens the window into a prison cell, where prisoners are seen crouching face-down on the floor and says: “The rule here is when you knock all the Nukhbas are on the floor … No marmalades, no chocolates, no TV, no radio. No, everything that was here we took. But there must be one more thing: death penalty for terrorists.”

A settler leader, Ben Gvir has previously been convicted on terrorism charges himself. He has openly called for the annexation of the occupied West Bank and for the ethnic cleansing of Gaza’s Palestinian population in order to establish Jewish settlements there.
