- Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel's far-right national security minister, called for nightly killings in Gaza of dozens of Palestinians he described as 'not worthy of life'
- Ben-Gvir's rhetoric, per parallel coverage, targets killing 30-40 people every night, and the source notes this is the latest in a series of attempts to make Palestinian life 'unbearably harsh'
Why it matters: The source explicitly frames Ben-Gvir's call as part of a series of escalating attempts to make Palestinian life unbearable, not an isolated outburst. A sitting national security minister publicly advocating nightly killings of dozens of civilians marks a documented escalation in the Israeli government's stated posture toward Gaza's population, dated August 16, 2026.
