Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir sparked widespread controversy after celebrating his 50th birthday with imagery linked to the execution of Palestinian prisoners.

Photos and videos circulated on social media showed Ben-Gvir receiving a large three-tiered birthday cake topped with a golden execution noose.

The imagery was widely interpreted as a reference to legislation supporting the death penalty for Palestinian prisoners, a policy long championed by Ben-Gvir and his far-right Otzma Yehudit party.

The law was passed by the Israeli Knesset earlier this year.

Palestine Chronicle Article

PC is a great website with live daily updates ran by Palestinians in the diaspora. My preferred alternative to Al-Jazeera for english language coverage.

The light blue thing your seeing that looks like the West Bank is the Dead Sea, so it seems like they are claiming all of the West Bank here.

Excluding Gaza (by particularly demarcating its border) is interesting though. Seems like these Kahanists intend to keep their ghetto turned concentration camp.

I wish Ben Gvir burns and burns and burns in hell.
