Israeli Ministers Call to Exploit Prisoner Release and Resume Genocide in Gaza
Occupied Palestine (QNN)- Israeli ministers, journalists, and analysts are pushing the government to resume its genocide in Gaza, exploiting that all soldier prisoners have been released. Their calls came after an Israeli officer and a soldier were killed and others wounded in Rafah, southern Gaza, on Sunday.
Education Minister Yoav Kisch hinted that the truce could soon collapse. “The agreement might be on its way to complete failure, or not,” he said. “We will strike hard. Now that there are no living hostages in Gaza, the army faces fewer restrictions.”
National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir was even more direct. “The reasons for not continuing the war and opening the gates of hell on Gaza no longer exist,” he said. Ben Gvir claimed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu assured him several times that “this war will never end before Hamas is completely eliminated.”
Netanyahu, who faces charges at the International Criminal Court, reportedly told Ben Gvir that the goal is “not only to execute the terrorists but to destroy the Hamas movement entirely.”
Retired Brigadier General Dedi Simchi, former commander of Israel’s Signal and Rescue Corps, said: “We have recovered the living hostages. Now we can bomb dozens of sites that were previously off-limits to us.”
Similarly, retired Brigadier General Aharon Zini, former commander of the Menashe Brigade in the northern West Bank, agreed: “I completely support Simchi’s view. We can now do what we were once forbidden to do, and we won’t stop until we recover the dead.”
However, Yedioth Ahronoth’s military analyst Ron Ben-Yishai urged caution. He said the details of the Rafah incident remain unclear, noting that the army was already carrying out operations in the area when the incident occurred.
