Israeli National Security Minister Ben Gvir admitted to blocking ceasefire deals with Hamas to end the war in Gaza "time after time" as a possible truce nears, a local newspaper reported.
"In the last year, using our political power, we managed to prevent this deal from going ahead, time after time," Gvir said in the caption of an X post, accompanied by a video of him encouraging Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who labeled the deal a "catastrophe" on Monday, to join his efforts to stop the ceasefire.
