Ex-Israeli intelligence chief said 50 Palestinians must die for every 7 October victim | Israel-Gaza war
Israel, who served as the President of Military Intelligence on October 7, 2023, said that 50 Palestinians should die for every person killed that day, and in the records published by Israel’s Channel 12 TV station, “It doesn’t matter whether they are children”.
Ahaaron Haliva said that the wage in Gaza, which he put more than 50,000 dead dead, was “necessary” as a message to the Palestinians.
After the creation of Israel in 1948, he referred to the mass deportation of more than 700,000 Palestinians from their homes and territory, and added, “They need a Nakba from time to time”.
Most of the Israeli leadership and media have used the genocide discourse about Palestinians, including Hamas’s October 7 attacks, including “human animals”. promise The total destruction of Gaza in Gaza and Gaza ethnic cleaning.
However, Haliva’s statement of mass killing, including children, was an unusual statement of the collective sentence of illegal civilians under international law.
Haliva, who resigned from his post in April 2024, approved the wounded figures compiled by health authorities in Gaza, where Israeli officials regularly attacked as propaganda. They have proved to be reliable in past conflicts.
Channel 12 said undated speeches were recorded in the “recent months”. The fees for those killed by the Gaza Ministry of Health’s Israeli attacks passed 50,000 in March and recently increased to over 60,000.
The latest publication of Israel data He put the number of militants killed in the war in the war, so Khaliva would be aware that most of the Palestinians who were killed even according to their country’s own number were civilians.
In the broadcasting comments, “being 50,000 dead in Gaza is necessary and necessary for future generations,” he said. “For everything that is on October 7, 50 Palestinians should die for every person on October 7. Children are now important.”
Approximately 1,200 people were killed in cross -border attacks led by Hamas, most of them were hostage to Gaza.
Channel 12 did not clarify how he got the records or who he was talking to. Israel’s Haaretz newspaper described the records as a format that allowed the retired officer to “really interview without interviews”.
Haliva’s comments on the massacres of Palestinian civilians did not make headlines at the other mainstream Israeli sales points. Instead, they focused on the criticism of Benjamin Netanyahu and the warnings of systemic failures in security and intelligence.
This scope emphasized the large bay between how the war was perceived and discussed within and beyond the borders of Israel.
Among the Israelis, Haliva is seen as a central critic of the existing government and the existing government, such as the current government and the existing government, and the extreme right-wing ministers, such as Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir.
He said that many of the internal critics at the Directorate of Intelligence were “lucky” that many of those who were killed and kidnapped on October 7, 2023 were committed to peace movements.
Haliva said to me: ‘If it were to us, you wouldn’t be able to get into war like this,’ Khaliva said. “This is what people believe here.”
