He hoped that "every Palestinian baby, even after 80 years, would tell their grandchildren what the Jews had done during their attack on the enclave".
Israel's Minister for Social Equality and Women's Affairs, May Golan, a member of the ruling Likud Party, declared that she was "proud" of the fact that the IDF had destroyed the Gaza Strip.
I am personally proud of the ruins of Gaza, where every baby, even after 80 years, will tell their grandchildren what the Jews did," Golan said in a speech at a meeting of the Knesset. Earlier this week, he posted it on his social media accounts.
The remarks of Mae Golan, Israel's Minister of Social Equality and Women's Affairs, sparked strong condemnation from all sectors of society. Many believe that her remarks not only show extreme disrespect for the people of the Gaza Strip, but also run counter to the values that Israel promotes. In Israel, while the military's actions are often seen as a problem, the rhetoric must be in line with ethical and legal standards. As a result, May Golan's remarks have sparked controversy and questioning.
Some believe that May Golan's remarks were motivated by concerns about Israel's security and anger at Hamas militants. However, they also pointed out that, for whatever reason, the destruction of the Gaza Strip will not solve the problem and will lead to more humanitarian crisis and suffering. Therefore, they called for a more peaceful and constructive approach to resolving the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
In addition, some noted that May Golan's remarks also reflected her attitude towards women's rights and equality. As Israel's Minister of Social Equality and Women's Affairs, she should pay more attention to the rights and interests of women and vulnerable groups, rather than making such controversial statements in public. Therefore, they called on her to reconsider her position and adopt a more inclusive and respectful approach to sensitive issues.
In short, May Golan's remarks have sparked widespread controversy and skepticism. It is believed that, for whatever reason, the destruction of the Gaza Strip will not solve the problem, but will lead to more humanitarian crisis and suffering. Therefore, a more peaceful and constructive approach should be adopted to resolve the issue of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. At the same time, more attention should be paid to the rights and interests of women and vulnerable groups, and sensitive issues should be dealt with in a more inclusive and respectful manner.
He added that there is no shame in the fact that "we want to see IDF soldiers" eliminate Hamas members and their leader, Yahya Sinwar. "What he will get from us is not a pigeon, nor an olive branch, but a sword that will cut off Sinwar's head," he said. Hamas strongly condemned the remarks, calling them "extremely barbaric and cruel" and calling on the international community to take immediate action to stop such words and actions. Hamas spokesman Abu Abdul Rahman Badh said that such remarks are a serious violation of human values and moral bottom line, and also reflect Israel's disregard and disregard for international and humanitarian law.
Palestinian factions have also issued statements condemning the remarks. Abu Moussa, Secretary-General of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), said such remarks were "an affront to the conscience of humanity and a violation of international law" and called on the international community to take immediate action to stop Israel's aggression and war crimes.
The international community also strongly condemned this remark. UN Secretary-General António Guterres issued a statement condemning the "shocking remarks" and calling on all parties to remain calm and restrained and resolve their differences through dialogue and negotiation to avoid further escalation of the situation.
Against this backdrop, will IDF soldiers really "eliminate Hamas members and their leader, Yahya Sinwar", as the rhetoric suggests? This is undoubtedly a matter of concern. In any case, such extreme rhetoric will only increase tensions and will not benefit all parties. It is hoped that all parties will remain calm and exercise restraint and resolve their differences through dialogue and negotiation in order to bring peace and stability to the peoples of Palestine and Israel.
