Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir on Friday rejected measures to hold the officers responsible for the killing of the World Central Kitchen crew in the central Gaza Strip on Monday accountable.

After Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi’s decision to dismiss senior officers and reprimand others due to their killing of foreign aid workers in Gaza, the leader of the far-right Otzma Yehudit party expressed this in a post on X: “The chief of staff’s decision to dismiss senior officers is an abandonment of the fighters in the middle of a war and a serious mistake that conveys weakness.”
