Israel’s national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, sparked global outrage with chilling remarks calling for nightly targeted killings and the removal of 30-40 Palestinians—including non-combatants—fueling international condemnation. Germany’s Chancellor Friedrich Merz slammed the comments as inhumane and illegal, while Vice Chancellor Lars Klingbeil declared a line has been crossed, with EU sanctions under discussion.
