A far-right Likud MK who also serves as deputy speaker of the Knesset calls for burning down Gaza.
“All of this preoccupation with whether or not there is internet in Gaza shows that we have learned nothing. We are too humane. Burn Gaza now no less!” Nissim Vaturi tweets after the war cabinet approved the entry of two trucks of fuel per day to prevent the collapse of the sewage treatment system, which risked a mass-disease outbreak.
“Don’t allow fuel in, don’t allow water in until the hostages are returned back!” he adds.
