Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has strongly opposed the proposed ceasefire deal with Hamas, describing it as a "path of surrender." He has called for a full military conquest of the Gaza Strip, advocating for a complete halt to humanitarian aid and encouraging the forced displacement of Gaza's residents. Ben-Gvir emphasized that the only way to achieve victory and safely recover hostages is through total occupation of Gaza. Similarly, Israeli Knesset Member Zvika Fogel from the Jewish Power party has stated that by the end of the conflict, no Palestinians should remain in Gaza. Fogel urged for the cessation of all humanitarian aid, including electricity and water, and called for the destruction and expulsion of Gaza’s population, asserting that "there are no innocent people there." These statements reflect a hardline stance within parts of the Israeli government regarding the ongoing conflict with Hamas.
