‘Total surrender’: Ben Gvir slams ‘humiliating’ return of Palestinians to northern Gaza

The images emerging from Gaza of tens of thousands of Palestinians returning to the northern part of the Strip via the Netzarim Corridor are “another humiliating part” of the “reckless” hostage release-ceasefire deal, ultranationalist Otzma Yehudit leader Itamar Ben Gvir declares.

“This is not what ‘total victory’ looks like — this is what total surrender looks like,” he writes on X.

The far-right politician, who resigned from the government in opposition to the hostage deal, says that “heroic IDF soldiers did not fight and give their lives in the Strip” only for Palestinians to return north.

“We must return to war — and destroy!” he declares.
