'I'm Responsible for Your Hell': Ben-Gvir Threatens Hamas Terrorist Behind 1996 Bus Bombings
Ben-Gvir said the footage was filmed two weeks earlier and repeated calls for the execution of Palestinian prisoners, drawing condemnation from Palestinian officials.
- On Sunday, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir posted a video to X confronting imprisoned Hamas figure Hassan Salameh, telling him, "I want to execute you," while boasting about his treatment of detainees.
- Salameh has been imprisoned for 30 years for his role in the 1996 Hamas-orchestrated bus bombings in Jerusalem, attacks that killed 48 people Ben-Gvir referenced while taunting the prisoner.
- Israel's Knesset approved legislation in March allowing the death penalty for Palestinian prisoners in certain cases, a measure backed by Ben-Gvir and his party, Jewish Power, though the law excludes Jewish Israelis.
- Palestinian officials and Hamas condemned the footage as a "cheap political and electoral stunt" ahead of Israel's October 27 elections, with the Palestinian Authority agency head calling prison conditions "organised terrorism."
- Ben-Gvir continues to push his "Disengagement 710" plan aimed at removing Gaza's roughly two million residents and has demanded the defense and justice portfolios for his party in any future government.
