Former Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has called for the resumption of military operations against Gaza.<\/div>\n

Criticizing the Israeli military\u2019s withdrawal from the Nitsarim corridor and the return of displaced residents to northern Gaza as a perceived \u201cvictory\u201d for Hamas, Ben Gvir expressed his disapproval by stating on X, \u201cThe opening of the Nitsarim highway this morning and the entry of tens of thousands of Gazans to northern Gaza Strip are images of Hamas\u2019 victory and another humiliating part of the reckless deal.\u201d<\/p>\n

He labelled the move a \u201ccomplete surrender\u201d and urged the Israeli government to return to war and \u201cdestroy.\u201d<\/p>\n

On January 19, Ben Gvir resigned from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet in protest of a ceasefire agreement with Hamas. The agreement, intended to end a 15-month war, included provisions for releasing prisoners and withdrawing Israeli forces from Gaza\u2019s southern border. Ben Gvir denounced the deal as \u201creckless\u201d and warned it might enable Hamas to consolidate power.<\/p>\n

Ben Gvir\u2019s resignation, alongside other ministers from his Otzma Yehudit party, has weakened Netanyahu\u2019s coalition. Analysts suggest that further defections from far-right lawmakers could cost the prime minister his parliamentary majority, potentially leading to early elections.<\/p>\n

As a prominent and polarizing ultranationalist figure, Ben Gvir has a history of anti-Arab rhetoric and convictions for offenses including racism and supporting a terrorist organization.<\/p>\n

The ceasefire deal saw the Israeli military\u2019s withdrawal from key areas such as the Nitsarim corridor, allowing displaced residents to return to northern Gaza. The return, widely documented in photos and videos, showed large crowds moving along Rasheed Street. Before the war\u2019s escalation on October 7, 2023, northern Gaza was home to over one million residents.<\/p>\n

Through mediation efforts, Hamas announced that displaced residents could begin returning on Monday. Senior Hamas official Izzat Al-Rishq described the return as a failure of Israel\u2019s efforts to displace Palestinians permanently.<\/p>\n

Amid these developments, Israel\u2019s Channel 12 reported that Hamas had agreed to release hostage Erbil Yehud by Saturday in exchange for reopening the Nitsarim route and releasing 30 prisoners serving life sentences.<\/p>\n

Yehud, taken hostage from her home in Nir Oz on October 7, was identified as a member of the Israeli army’s space program. Hamas confirmed her status, stating she is alive and will be released as part of the agreement.<\/p>\n
