Far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir issues a threat against Prime Minister Netanyahu not to halt the war in Gaza.

“If the prime minister decides to end the war without a large-scale offensive in Rafah to defeat Hamas, he will not have a mandate to continue serving as prime minister,” Ben Gvir writes on X.
