Israeli Politician Itamar Ben-Gvir: "We Have Become the Laughingstock of the Middle East" 

Israeli far-right politician **Itamar Ben-Gvir**, leader of the **Otzma Yehudit** party and a former Minister of National Security, has sparked controversy by declaring that **Israel has become "the laughingstock of the Middle East."**  

## **Ben-Gvir’s Criticism of Israel’s Policies**  

In an interview with **Maariv**, Ben-Gvir expressed his frustration over the **Israeli government’s decision to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza** following a **ceasefire agreement with Hamas.** He claimed to be **the only member of the Israeli security cabinet** who opposed the decision.  

He further stated:  

> **"We must encourage voluntary migration from Gaza. Former U.S. President Donald Trump says there is time, but from Israel’s perspective, we don’t have time."**  

## **Conditions for Returning to the Israeli Government**  

Ben-Gvir resigned from his ministerial position in protest against the ceasefire and **outlined conditions for his return to the government:**  

- **The destruction of Hamas** as a ruling entity.  

- **Halting humanitarian aid and fuel supplies to Gaza.**  

- **Implementing Trump’s proposed plan for Gaza.**  

> **"Without the collapse of Hamas, sovereignty over the West Bank and settlements is meaningless. The lives of all Israelis will remain in danger,"** he warned.  

## **Trump’s Controversial Gaza Plan**  

His remarks came after **Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed plans for Gaza** during a **press conference at the White House.** Trump reportedly **advocated for the removal of Palestinians from Gaza**, a proposal that has drawn widespread international criticism.  

Meanwhile, **Israel’s cabinet has requested a two-week delay** in the parliamentary vote on Ben-Gvir’s proposed **"Gaza Migration Encouragement Law"** to further discuss its implications.
