The source quoted Ben Gvir as saying: “When our fighters are in Gaza and the people are united, Minister Gallant comes and destroys a settlement,” as he put it.
The far-right Israeli minister added: “Instead of stopping and destroying the illegal Palestinian seizure of land, Gallant chose to put his finger in the eyes of the settlers and fighters. This is a continuation of the concept of turning the lover into the enemy and the enemy into the lover.”
Other right-wing extremists also attacked this operation, considering it an “unthinkable step in wartime.”
The Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth said that the Israeli army evacuated buildings erected in Gush Etzion on Tuesday morning.
The newspaper quoted settlers who were evacuated from their homes, They said: “Around us are hundreds of illegal Arab homes that were built with one goal: to create the infrastructure for a Palestinian state on the ground, and the Supreme Commander does not touch it,” as they put it.
These new criticisms highlight the divisions within Israel, coinciding with the continuation of the war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip and the post-war “day after” scenarios.
Itamar Ben Gvir had previously criticized the military plan announced by the Israeli Defense Minister a few days ago, reiterating his emphasis on the necessity of “forcing the largest possible number of Palestinians to leave the Gaza Strip,” an idea that was denounced by several countries, and which was met with opposition even within Israel.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's spokeswoman also stated, “The future of Palestinians from Gaza lies in Gaza.”
