Far-right Israeli politician Itamar Ben-Gvir has said Israel deserves “explanations” from Egypt’s government about how Hamas has received weapons, Al Jazeera reports.

“They [Egypt] have a role in what happened on October 7,” said Ben-Gvir in comments carried by Israeli state radio. “There was probably some partnership, or at the very least, a willful blindness.”

There was no immediate comment from Egypt.
