Israeli minister is 'encouraging riots': Report

Israeli security officials speaking anonymously to Haaretz criticised National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir for his comments made during the right-wing march calling for the resettlement of Gaza on Tuesday.

"Want humanitarian aid?... Want food for the children in Gaza? Then they should return [the young Israeli hostages] Ariel and Kfir Bibas. Want women in Gaza to have a roof over their heads? Then they should return [Israeli hostage] Shiri Bibas and all the other hostages," Gvir said at the rally where he rejected calls for humanitarian aid to be delivered to Gaza.

Speaking to the Israeli daily Haaretz, the security source said that the minister's statements at the march "encourage Monday's riots that resulted with setting fire to aid convoys and the destruction of aid, and beyond - cause enormous international damage. His behavior is childish and irresponsible."
