Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power), led by Itamar Ben-Gvir

Otzma Yehudit chairman Itamar Ben-Gvir called for applying sovereignty in Judea and Samaria immediately, in a post reacting to what he described as the recognition of a Palestinian state by Britain, Canada and Australia.

“ההכרה של בריטניה קנדה ואוסטרליה כמדינה "פלסטינית", כפרס לרוצחי הנוח'בות, מחייבות צעדי נגד מיידיים: החלת ריבונות מיידית ביהודה ושומרון וריסוק מוחלט של רשות הטרור ה"פלסטינית".”

The recognition by Britain, Canada and Australia of a “Palestinian” state, as a prize for the Nukhba murderers, requires immediate countermeasures: immediate application of sovereignty in Judea and Samaria and the complete crushing of the “Palestinian” terror authority.

Otzma Yehudit chairman Itamar Ben-Gvir wrote that no aid at all should enter Gaza while the hostages were held there, as a way to bring Hamas down.

“לרצועה כולה לא אמור להיכנס שום גרם של סיוע, כל עוד חטופינו מוחזקים שם - לא בידי חברה חיצונית, ולא בידי חיילי צה"ל. זהו המצב כיום, ורק על ידי המשכתו ניתן יהיה להוריד את חמאס על הברכיים ולשחרר את חטופינו בכוח הזרוע.”

Not a single gram of aid should enter the entire Strip while our hostages are held there, not by an outside company and not by IDF soldiers. That is the situation today, and only by continuing it will it be possible to bring Hamas to its knees and free our hostages by force.

Otzma Yehudit chairman Itamar Ben-Gvir called for complete conquest of the Strip, encouraging emigration and settlement there.

“עצירה מוחלטת של הסיוע ה"הומניטרי". כיבוש מוחלט של הרצועה. השמדה טוטלית של חמאס. עידוד הגירה. התיישבות.”

A complete halt to the “humanitarian” aid. Complete conquest of the Strip. Total destruction of Hamas. Encouraging emigration. Settlement.

The notes to a bill by Ben-Gvir and his faction say that “among many, the understanding has sharpened” that a Palestinian state in the Land of Israel would mean Israel’s destruction.

“בקרב רבים התחדדה ההבנה כי רעיון הקמת מדינה פלסטינית נוספת, בשטחי ארץ ישראל השלמה, משמעותו השמדתה של מדינת ישראל.”

Among many, the understanding has sharpened that the idea of establishing another Palestinian state in the territory of the whole Land of Israel means the destruction of the State of Israel.

Otzma Yehudit MKs co-sponsored a bill to fast-track new communities across the country.

“קידום ההתיישבות בפריסה ארצית חיונית לשם ביצור ריבונותה המלא של ישראל כמדינה יהודית, לשם הבטחת שליטה בפועל בשטחים בעלי חשיבות אסטרטגית ולשם הצמיחה והכלכלה בפריפריה הגיאוגרפית והחברתית.”

Advancing settlement across the country is essential to fortify Israel’s full sovereignty as a Jewish state, to secure actual control of strategically important areas, and for growth and the economy in the geographic and social periphery.
