Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir says the government should “stop negotiating” with Hamas and cut off fuel and electricity to Gaza, Al Jazeera reports.

“A country whose six hostages were murdered in cold blood does not negotiate with the killers but rather halts the negotiations, stops providing them with fuel and electricity, and crushes them until their defeat,” he said in a post on X.

“Continuing negotiations only encourages them to produce more and more terror.”
