Itamar Ben Gvir

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir:

They wanted me to hand sandwiches to those terrorists, those terror supporters, and tell them how beautiful Israel is. With me, that ends. I’m not a sucker.

I took away the marmalades, the chocolates, the lamb meat, the ping-pong, the televisions, the radio.

They used to come out fat; today they come in fat and leave thin.

That’s how terrorists should come out.

Israeli National Security Minister Ben-Gvir:

We must attack.

If Lebanon allows its territory to become a base for terrorism against the State of Israel, Beirut must understand that it will not be able to continue functioning as usual.

Whoever chooses war against Israel must bear the consequences.

We appreciate our friends, the United States, but in the end the responsibility for our security is ours and ours alone.

Israeli National Security Minister Ben-Gvir:

The State of Israel must be secure.

If Israel is not secure, Beirut will look like Beit Hanoun.

Vice President Vance says Netanyahu hasn't criticized the Iran agreement because he knows its details. Asked about attacks on the deal from Ben Gvir and Smotrich, Vance responded: "What exactly is your proposal?"

National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir to PM Netanyahu:

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir: "Tonight Tehran must burn!"

Ireland's Ministry of Justice has banned Israeli ministers Ben Gvir and Smotrich from entering Irish territory.

Israeli National Security Minister Ben-Gvir:

A ceasefire in Lebanon is a fantasy. Hezbollah will not withdraw north of the Litani River.

Hezbollah has grown stronger and stronger.

Under these circumstances, Netanyahu should have said to Trump, "Mr. President, we love you, but the answer is no. We are not going to agree to a ceasefire with an organization that endangers Israel's security."

Israeli National Security Minister Ben-Gvir on Lebanon:

"What hurts them is the Dahieh… The Dahiyeh needs to be flattened… we need to go after the Dahieh, flatten it, flatten it, and flatten it again."

Israel’s National Security Minister Ben-Gvir:

“It is forbidden to normalize the reality of explosive drones; it is time for the prime minister to bang on Trump's table and inform him that we are returning to war in Lebanon.

We need to cut off the electricity in Lebanon, conquer the Dahiyeh, and return to an intense war.”

Israeli National Security Minister Ben-Gvir:

"If the Lebanese government does not control Hezbollah, then the territory south of the Litani, and even south of the Zahrani, must become a 'security zone' for the State of Israel. We need to cut the electricity, destroy the infrastructure, and make clear to them: if there is terrorism, you will suffer."

Israeli National Security Minister Ben-Gvir:

We need to cut the electricity in Lebanon.
