The Israeli minister of the extreme right, Itamar Ben-Gvir, has affirmed that the main US Republican legislators support the bombardment of the “food and help deposits” in Gaza.
The statement, made in a social media post on Wednesday, occurred after the Israeli National Security Minister said with “senior officials of the Republican Party. [US President Donald] Trump’s Mar-A-Lago Finca “in Florida in the United States.
“They expressed their support for my very clear position on how to act in Gaza and that food and help deposits must be bombarded to create military and political pressure to take our hostages home safely,” Ben-Gvir published in X in Hebrew.
The president of the United States was not in the event, according to his public schedule.
Ben-Gvir’s publication was not specific what Republicans attended. However, Ben-Gvir’s office told Israeli media that Republican congressman Tom Emmer, considered the third highest member of the United States Representatives Chamber, was among the legislators present.
The Times of Israel and the Jewish News Syndicate were among the media that cited the Ben-Gvir office when informing the presence of Emmer, which also seemed to be confirmed by the video of the event.
The congressman has been one of the main voices in the United States Congress that supports Israel in the middle of the war in Gaza, and has regularly said that Hamas, and not Israel, was to blame for the high rate of civil deaths in the Palestinian enclave.
A spokesman for Emmer did not respond to a request for comments from Al Jazeera on the visit of Mar-a-Lago and if the congressman supported Ben-Gvir’s position to attack the food and help sites.
