Bezalel Smotrich, the extremist Israeli finance minister who now represents the view of most Israelis, said in an interview on Thursday that Israel should make a Palestinian town in the West Bank look like Gaza in its fight against terror.
The Times of Israel reported that Smotrich, a top Israeli settler who has spoken about annihilating Palestinian towns long before 7 October, was referring to recent gunfire from the town of Tulkarem toward the nearby Israeli town of Bat Hefer.
“We must not allow them to do in the Sharon what they did on October 7″ near the Gaza border,” Smotrich posted on X. “Terror needs to be uprooted anywhere, even if it means Tulkarem will look like Gaza looks today.”
Israel is conducting a war in the West Bank that has been largely ignored in the Western media. Israel has been conducting raids into Palestinian cities and towns in the stolen West Bank to ostensibly “crack down on militancy and the incursions have led to the deaths of more than 500 Palestinians,” the Associated Press reported.
