Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Housing Minister Yitzhak Goldknopf yesterday attended the demolition of Arab homes in Negev.

Ben-Gvir congratulated the forces destroying the homes for their “holy work.”
The extremist ministers said in their statement that “the people who built the structures were given over three months to vacate the area and destroy the buildings before the state acted to demolish them.”
In February, Israel’s Land Authority carried out the ‘Southern Hawk’ operation, issuing over 360 demolition and evacuation orders.
“Keep it up. It’s important. I also know that this is minister Goldknopf’s position, to restore deterrence, restore sanity and restore governance,” the Jerusalem Post reported Ben-Gvir saying.
He added: “I will continue accompanying the demolitions. I was there a week ago, I am still here today. I will continue to follow and come until the invaders realise that the owner of this country is here.”
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, Ben-Gvir apologised sarcastically to the Palestinian family who are now homeless: “”Sorry” Muhammad Majadla, this is a right-wing government.”
