Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir called on Thursday for the establishment of "permanent roadblocks" in the West Bank, claiming that "the settlers' right to life takes priority over the freedom of movement of Palestinians."
In a post on the X platform, the leader of the far-right Jewish Power party said, “I reiterate my constant demand to set up permanent checkpoints on the roads of Judea and Samaria - the West Bank - and to provide safe roads for residents of the Palestinian Authority.” He added, “The right to life of Israelis takes precedence over the freedom of movement of residents of the Palestinian Authority.”
Ben Gvir condemned the killing of a settler and the wounding of 3 others in a shooting in the southern West Bank, on Wednesday evening.
In parallel with the genocide in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli occupation army and settlers expanded their attacks in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, resulting in a total of 809 martyrs and about 6,450 wounded, according to official Palestinian data.
