Ben Gvir calls for remaining captives to be freed by 'stopping humanitarian aid'

Itamar Ben Gvir, Israel's far-right national security minister, has called for the remaining captives in Gaza to be released "through force". 

While welcoming the release of three captives on Sunday, Ben Gvir said on X that he was awaiting the return of the remaining captives "through force, cutting off fuel, stopping humanitarian aid, and not through surrender". 

Ben Gvir and members of his Jewish Power party resigned from the government over the ceasefire deal agreed with Hamas.
