Far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir responds dismissively to the joint statement from foreign ministers of the US, the UK, France, Germany and Italy Tuesday saying they are “deeply troubled” by the Israeli decision to legalize nine outposts.

“Stop being troubled,” he says.

“This is our goal, this is our position. Nine [outposts] is nice, but it is not enough. We want many more [legalized],” Ben Gvir says.
