National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has suggested that Israel should take more extreme steps to strengthen its position in the offensive on Gaza, Al Jazeera reports.

“There are things we haven’t done yet, like halting the gas, telling them ‘no more humanitarian aid’, we haven’t done that. Let’s do it for a month or two, see them then,” he said during an interview on Israel’s Army Radio.

The far-right minister was speaking as he encouraged people to attend the contentious and often incendiary annual Jerusalem Day Flag March, which will be held on Wednesday at the Damascus Gate and the Muslim quarter.
