The Israeli Minister of Public Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, a far-right figure, today called for the arrest of Palestinian President Abu Mazen (Mahmoud Abbas) and the assassination of senior Palestinian officials if the UN Security Council votes in favor of Palestinian statehood. “If they accelerate the recognition of this fabricated state, if the UN recognizes it, you (…) must order targeted assassinations of senior officials of the Palestinian National Authority, who are terrorists in every respect (and) order the arrest of Abu Mazen,” Ben-Gvir told reporters, addressing Netanyahu directly.
