Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has repeatedly urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to halt ceasefire negotiations and recall the delegation engaged in indirect talks with Hamas in Qatar. Following the killing of Israeli soldiers by Gazan militants, Ben Gvir condemned negotiations for a hostage deal, arguing that such talks encourage further kidnappings and strengthen Hamas. He has called for a full occupation of the Gaza Strip, advocating the cessation of all humanitarian aid to Gaza and encouraging voluntary migration of Palestinians from the enclave. Ben Gvir emphasized that increasing aid delays the release of hostages and impedes a complete victory in the ongoing conflict. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Netanyahu is reportedly considering a plan to annex territories in Gaza if Hamas rejects a ceasefire, reflecting pressure from far-right coalition members including Ben Gvir. This proposed annexation and the push for full reoccupation mark a hardening stance in Israel’s approach to the Gaza conflict.
