Far-right MK Yitzhak Kroizer defends the conduct of Israeli security forces who shot dead a Palestinian couple and their two young children earlier this month, claiming that their vehicle sped toward them in the northern West Bank.
“I stand behind IDF soldiers in every situation. Even if the collateral damage is children or women — it does not matter to me,” Kroizer says in remarks at a Knesset plenary session.
“And in Jenin, there are no innocent civilians. In Jenin, there are no innocent children,” Kroizer claims.
“Those who were born in 2006 during the expulsion from Gush Katif [Israel’s unilateral Disengagement from Gaza, which actually took place in 2005] were the Nukhba fighters of 2026 on October 7 [2023].”
