Israel’s security minister, Itamar Ben Gvir, has expressed strong opposition to the Gaza ceasefire-hostage agreement approved by the country’s security cabinet. Ben Gvir, a member of the far-right Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) party, voiced his concerns over the deal, stating that he was 'horrified' by a previous version of the agreement.
Ben Gvir raised alarm over the potential release of Palestinian prisoners from the Israeli-occupied West Bank as part of the ceasefire terms. He emphasized his anxiety about the released prisoners posing a threat to Israel's security by potentially engaging in harmful activities upon their release.
