I don&#8217;t want a rope; I want a button. With my own hands, I will execute every terrorist in the State of Israel.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-v-5d397945=\"\" data-v-45890e8d-s=\"\">Ben Gvir responded: &#8220;I will move heaven and earth to make that happen.

And G-d willing, it is one of my greatest dreams to see you there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-v-5d397945=\"\" data-v-45890e8d-s=\"\">Ben Gvir added, referring to the method of execution: &#8220;By the way, it&#8217;s hanging. The punishment we established there is to carry it out by hanging. And G-d willing, G-d willing. You are the right person in the right place for us to hang them and execute them one by one. They don&#8217;t deserve to live, and you&#8217;re right.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-v-5d397945=\"\" data-v-45890e8d-s=\"\">Later, he addressed the changes to the prison conditions of security prisoners since he took office, comparing them with the conditions they previously received.<\/p>\n<p data-v-5d397945=\"\" data-v-45890e8d-s=\"\">He recalled, &#8220;You would visit the prisons and see the marmalades and chocolates, the television, ping-pong, and meat. Everything they had there &#8211; it was insane. I go through the Israel Prison Service facilities and you hear the stories: We took this one for cosmetic surgery, and we gave that one a prosthetic eye because he lost an eye after throwing a Molotov cocktail.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-v-5d397945=\"\" data-v-45890e8d-s=\"\">&#8220;Thank G-d, today we are in a completely different reality,&#8221; Ben Gvir concluded. &#8220;They are suffering, it&#8217;s difficult for them, they are miserable &#8211; and I&#8217;m glad they are miserable. That&#8217;s the only thing that can provide some measure of correction and relief for the tremendous pain that you and all the others carry.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hamas captivity survivor Rom Braslavski personally appealed to National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, asking to be allowed&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":251045,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[33],"tags":[17850,33382,18503,37,8750,57069],"class_list":["post-251044","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-israel","tag-death-penalty","tag-hostages","tag-hostages-in-gaza","tag-israel","tag-itamar-ben-gvir","tag-swords-of-iron"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@iran\/117104034775963023","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/251044","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=251044"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/251044\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/251045"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=251044"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=251044"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=251044"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
