The newspaper "Israel Hayom" reported on Tuesday that Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir said that the delay in delivering the bodies of the dead hostages from Gaza indicates that "the mission to eradicate Hamas is not yet complete."
Ben Gvir's statements come in the context of his hardline positions, where he repeats that any agreement for a ceasefire or hostage exchange is not sufficient unless it is accompanied by the complete dismantling of Hamas's capabilities. He has previously threatened to withdraw from the government if the military operation is not completed to the end.
This position reflects the ongoing division within the Israeli ruling coalition between those pushing for a ceasefire and a return to a political path, and far-right ministers who demand the continuation of the war until the "complete eradication" of the movement.
