Ben Gvir blasts release of Shifa director ‘along with dozens of terrorists’
National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir says the decision to free the director of Shifa Hospital “along with dozens of terrorists” is “security recklessness.”
“It’s time the prime minister stops [Defense Minister Yoav] Gallant and the Shin Bet chief from independent policies contradicting the positions of the cabinet.”
Israel routinely releases detainees back to Gaza if they are shown to not be tied to terror.
