Ben-Gvir's repeated calls to empty Gaza draw renewed condemnation

Palestinian rights advocates have again condemned Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel's national security minister, over his repeated calls to empty the Gaza Strip of its population, which they say amount to an open push for displacement.

Advocates argue that the significance of the statements lies in their being made by a serving minister rather than a commentator.

The minister has not responded to the criticism.
