Israel’s National Security Minister Takes Credit For Repeatedly Blocking Gaza Ceasefire, Captive Exchange Deals
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has repeatedly claimed Hamas is at fault for not reaching a deal to end the war and release captives on each side
Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said on 14 January that he had prevented Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from agreeing to several proposals for a ceasefire and prisoner swap with Hamas in Gaza over the past year.
“In the past year, through our political strength, we succeeded in preventing such a deal from being made, time and again,” said Ben Gvir, who is head of the Otzman Yehudit Party and a minister in Netanyahu’s governing coalition.
Ben Gvir and his ally, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, previously threatened Netanyahu they would quit his coalition and thereby potentially topple him from the prime minister post if he agreed to a deal that would end the fighting in Gaza and release the Israeli captives held by Hamas and some of the thousands of Palestinians held captive in Israeli prisons.
However, Ben Gvir said he lost this leverage when Foreign Minister Gideon Saar and his New Hope faction joined the coalition in September.
“Recently, other actors who support the deal have joined the government, and we no longer hold the balance of power,” he complained.
