Senior figures in Israel's far-right political bloc are escalating calls for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to immediately abandon the current ceasefire protocol and move to completely dismantle Hamas, following alleged violations by the terror group involving the remains of deceased hostages.
The renewed pressure comes after reports surfaced that Hamas handed over the body of a soldier who had already been returned, rather than the remains of an additional captive, signaling a deliberate act of psychological manipulation.
Ben Gvir: "Enough Hesitation. Give the Order!"
National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir led the charge, arguing that Hamas's actions prove the terror organization is still operationally viable and requires total destruction.
“The fact that Hamas continues to play games and does not immediately transfer all the bodies of our fallen, is in itself evidence that the terror organization is still standing,” Ben Gvir declared.
He called for an immediate shift from punitive measures to a full-scale offensive:
“Now we don’t need to ‘extract a price from Hamas’ for the violations. We need to exact from it its very existence, and destroy it completely, once and for all, in accordance with the central goal defined for the War of Revival.” He concluded with a direct challenge to the Prime Minister: “Mr. Prime Minister, enough hesitation. Give the order!”
