Israel’s fascist ‘security minister’ Itamar Ben-Gvir has said that no matter what is agreed between the US and Iran, Israel “cannot” stop demolishing civilian homes in Lebanon. This, supposedly, is because Israel “must” control the territory from which it has ethnically cleansed more than a million innocent Lebanese people:
We cannot stop demolishing houses in southern Lebanon. We cannot stop. We cannot allow the residents of southern Lebanon to return. We must continue to control the territory even if we disagree with (US President Donald) Trump, we are an independent state.
Ben-Gvir:
We cannot stop destroying houses in southern Lebanon. We cannot stop, period.
We cannot allow the population of southern Lebanon to return. … We must continue to control the territory even if Trump disagrees. pic.twitter.com/1p9TnWKUBf

Ben-Gvir — Reprisals
Ben-Gvir made his comments to journalists at Israel’s Knesset yesterday, 17 June 2026, in objection to Trump’s supposed ‘memorandum of understanding’ with Iran. Trump’s ‘surrender document’ includes Israel’s complete withdrawal from Lebanon and the end of its attacks there — a ‘red line’ for Tehran. As the fascist minister spoke, Israel continued to bomb and slaughter in Lebanon in an attempt to collapse the ‘MOU’.
Lebanese authorities say that Israel has destroyed more than 36,000 homes since March. But Ben-Gvir’s war crimes in Lebanon are not limited to destruction of homes and ethnic cleansing. Israel has murdered thousands during the same period.
And he has also announced plans to abduct women and children as punishment for Lebanese resistance — like the nazis’ ‘reprisals’ in occupied Europe.
