- Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel's far-right national security minister, called for nightly killings in Gaza of dozens of people he described as 'not worthy of life'.
- The outlet framed Ben-Gvir's statement as the latest in a series of attempts to make life unbearably harsh for Palestinians, published August 16, 2026.
Why it matters: Ben-Gvir holds a cabinet seat as national security minister, so his public endorsement of nightly killings gives the proposal standing inside Israel's government rather than the political fringe. The outlet's framing of the call as one in an ongoing pattern of measures against Palestinians signals an escalating, deliberate posture rather than an isolated outburst.
