Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir confirmed to the Wall Street Journal that "the people of Gaza should be encouraged to migrate voluntarily and given financial incentives to do so." Ben Gvir criticized U.S. President Joe Biden, stating, "Instead of providing us with full support, he is busy offering humanitarian aid and fuel to Gaza," indicating that "aid goes to Hamas." He added that "if former President Donald Trump were in power, U.S. behavior would be completely different." Earlier, Axios reported, citing unnamed U.S. officials, that "the Biden administration considered including Israeli ministers Itamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich (both far-right) on the sanctions list," noting that they "decided to exclude them for now, focusing on those who committed the attacks."
