Extremist Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir said that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged to him to dismantle Hamas, stressing that “if that does not happen, we will dismantle the government.”
Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper quoted Ben Gvir as saying that he would vote against the agreement that will be presented to the government for approval, related to the release of hostages and a ceasefire.
Ben Gvir said: “We are happy with the release of all the hostages, but we will vote against the release of the killers.”
He added: “During the conversations that took place between me and the Prime Minister in recent days, I made it clear that I would not, under any circumstances, be part of a government that allows Hamas’ rule in Gaza to continue. The Prime Minister promised me that.”
