Key Israeli minister say Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas should also be jailed if Palestinian statehood advances.
Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir threatened assassinations of Palestinian Authority officials if the UN recognizes Palestinian statehood, labeling them as “terrorists.” He expressed that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas should face arrest if the UN vote supports statehood, claiming a solitary confinement cell awaits him. Ben-Gvir also dismissed the existence of a Palestinian people, calling for their “voluntary migration” from Israel. This stance is backed by Israeli leaders, who oppose the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state amidst a controversial US proposal for Gaza governance.
