Israel’s Western allies have condemned remarks by its far-right finance minister, who suggested that causing the starvation of Gaza’s population of more than 2 million Palestinians “might be just and moral” until Hamas-held hostages are released.

FILE - Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich speaks at the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, in Jerusalem, on July 10, 2023. JERUSALEM — Israel’s Western allies have condemned remarks by its far-right finance minister, who suggested that causing the starvation of Gaza’s population of more than 2 million Palestinians “might be just and moral” until hostages captured in Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel are returned home.

Smotrich, a key partner in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s governing coalition, supports the reoccupation of Gaza, the rebuilding of Jewish settlements that were removed in 2005, and what he describes as the voluntary migration of large numbers of Palestinians out of the territory. “We expect the wider Israeli government to retract and condemn them,” he wrote on the social media platform X.“It is a principle of international law and of humanity to protect civilians in a war and to give them access to water and food,” he wrote on X.
