Khaberni - Israeli National Security Minister, extremist Itamar Ben Gvir, on Friday called for the dismantling of the Palestinian Authority following a shooting in the West Bank that resulted in the wounding of 5 settlers days before the election.
The extreme right-wing minister stated in a statement, "We should not wait for another October 7 to occur (in the West Bank). That's where the next war will break out," adding "We must act before it is too late. The Palestinian Authority must be dismantled and disarmed, and its infrastructure completely destroyed."
Ben Gvir also believes that freedom of movement for residents of the Palestinian territories is less important than "the right of Jews to live," calling for "stopping their movement at checkpoints" and not allowing them to travel on roads in the West Bank.
He stated that the life of settlers in the West Bank is "a million times more important than freedom of movement."
5 settlers were injured, on Friday, during a shooting near the city of Hebron, amid news of the martyrdom of the two perpetrators of the operation.
The newspaper quoted one of the witnesses saying that the shooting lasted for more than 20 minutes, preventing the evacuation of the wounded.
For his part, the Israeli occupation army announced that the perpetrators of the operation were martyred after a short pursuit while "trying to escape," and imposed a security cordon around the neighboring villages.
