National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir demanded that Prime Minister Netanyahu intensify the war in Lebanon, declare that Southern Lebanon is part of ‘Greater Israel’
ed note–if Ben Gvir is willing to say such things while on the floor of the Knesset, we can JUST IMAGINE the kinds of things he says behind closed doors when the mics and cameras are not present, and for those whose ‘imagination’ is lacking, we’ll let the following pic fill in the blanks–

National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir delivered remarks on Monday at the start of the Otzma Yehudit faction meeting demanding that Netanyahu pressure US President Donald Trump to resume the war at full intensity and to announce the creation of a ‘new security perimeter’ in southern Lebanon.
The Minister opened his remarks by warning against the dangers of attempting to reach ‘diplomatic agreements’ instead of a clear military victory, saying ‘We already know how this ends…Not this time. This absurdity must stop now.’
Later in his remarks, Ben-Gvir laid out a list of demands. ‘I call on the Prime Minister to pick up a phone, call Trump, go to him, and bang on his desk. Make clear that the State of Israel will not accept his deal with Iran and will not tolerate it.’
According to Ben-Gvir, ‘We need to turn off the electricity in Lebanon, to flip the switch, to occupy up to the Zaharani River, and more, and to resume the War of Redemption at full intensity. The territory south of the Litani River, and more, must and will become part of the State of Israel. We have to tell the residents of southern Lebanon the truth: you’re not going home.’
The National Security Minister concluded his remarks by directly addressing the Prime Minister, emphasizing his confidence in the military’s abilities: ‘The IDF can and must win. The time has come to win, the time has come for total victory.’
