Deputy Speaker of Israeli Knesset Says All Adult Men in Gaza Should Be Killed
Nissim Vaturi also referred to Palestinians as ‘subhumans’.
by Dave DeCamp
Nissim Vaturi, the deputy speaker of the Israeli Knesset, has called for all adult men in Gaza to be killed in the latest example of genocidal rhetoric from an Israeli official.
“Who is innocent in Gaza? Civilians went out and slaughtered people in cold blood,” Vaturi told Kol BaRama radio. “We need to separate the children and women and kill the adults in Gaza, we are being too considerate.”
Vaturi, a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party, referred to the Palestinians in Gaza as “subhumans” and “scoundrels” and said no one in the world wants to take them in. “The international community understands that the residents of Gaza are not welcome anywhere and is pushing them towards Israel,” he said.
The deputy speaker also said the city of Jenin in the occupied West Bank will soon turn into Gaza as Israel is ramping up its assault there. He said Palestinians being freed from Israeli jails as part of the Gaza hostage and ceasefire deal should be put in Jenin so they could be “eliminated” later on.
“Erase Jenin. Don’t start looking for the terrorists – if there’s a terrorist in the house, take him down, tell the women and children to get out,” Vaturi said.
Last year, Vaturi claimed there were “no innocents” in Gaza and called for the entire place to be “burned down” so Israeli soldiers wouldn’t get hurt.
” What does it mean to burn? To go in and rip them apart. There should be no thoughts, no considerations. The soldiers of the IDF should not think for one second and be hurt because we need to be humane,” Vaturi said.
Such rhetoric from Israeli officials has been cited in South Africa’s genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice to demonstrate Israel’s intent to commit genocide.

🗓 This week’s report highlights worsening humanitarian conditions, intensified Israeli aggression, and major international concerns:
⭕ Israel Postpones 7th Batch of Prisoner Releases: The Israeli occupation authorities delayed the release of 402 Palestinian prisoners, including 50 serving life imprisonment, until further notice, violating the ceasefire agreement.
⭕ New Israeli Settlement Expansion in Bethlehem: Israel issued a tender for 974 new settlement units in “Efrat” settlement, expanding it by 644 dunams and increasing its population by 40%. This project aims to cut off the southern West Bank from Bethlehem, further entrenching Israeli control.
⭕ Severe Healthcare Crisis in Gaza: Only five oxygen stations serve Gaza’s remaining hospitals, placing ICU patients at extreme risk. 350,000 chronically ill patients lack medication, and Israel is blocking medical evacuations, leaving thousands—especially cancer-stricken children—without access to treatment.
⭕ Israel Withholds $90 Million in Palestinian Funds: The Israeli occupation continues its economic warfare by seizing Palestinian clearance revenues. Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich decided that the funds will be transferred to Israeli families who claim losses from Palestinian attacks. The Palestinian Government was forced to borrow money to pay partial salaries.
⭕ Escalating IOF Aggression on Jenin and Tulkarem: 35 days of aggression on Jenin have left 27 Palestinians martyred and 120 homes completely demolished. Israeli occupying forces continue to destroy property and infrastructure, while forcibly displacing more than 40,000 Palestinians so far.
⭕ Israel Orders the Immediate Closure of UNRWA Schools: Israeli occupying forces raided UNRWA schools in East Jerusalem and Qalandia, shutting them down and depriving 600 Palestinian children and trainees of education.

📅 This week’s report highlights:
⭕ Gaza’s Humanitarian Collapse Deepens: Israel continues to block humanitarian aid to Gaza for the 57th consecutive day, pushing the Palestinian people to the brink of total famine. UN agencies warn of “total disaster,” in Gaza, saying it has become “a land of desperation,” with food supplies depleted and over half a million newly displaced persons.
⭕ Israeli Attacks on Displaced Palestinians: Israeli occupation strikes targeted displaced Palestinians living in makeshift tents, killing 78 civilians in just under a week, including women and children.
⭕ Targeting of Gaza’s Pediatric Care.. Children’s Hospital Rendered Non-operational: Israeli occupation forces have bombed Al-Durra Children’s Hospital in Gaza City, disrupting critical pediatric care for the eastern regions of Gaza.

⭕ Gaza’s Economy and Living Conditions Collapse: The Gaza Chambers of Commerce report a staggering 527% skyrocketing spike in prices, with unemployment soaring beyond 85% and poverty levels exceeding 90%, and with starvation and thirst being deliberately used as weapons against civilians, warning of an irreversible social and humanitarian disaster. The WFP and UNRWA have also announced they have exhausted all food supplies in Gaza.
⭕ Ongoing Israeli Aggression on Northern West Bank: Israel’s military aggression and siege on Jenin and Tulkarem and their refugee camps have displaced more than 46,000 Palestinians in Jenin and Tulkarem amid ongoing raids, home demolitions and vandalism, the installation of iron gates to isolate refugee camps, and forcing Palestinian families out of their homes at gunpoint.
⭕ Israel Expands Colonial Outposts: Israeli settlers, backed by the Israeli occupation army, have rapidly established new colonial outposts across the occupied West Bank, including in Hebron, Ramallah, Jericho, and Salfit. These installations aim to erase the Green Line, forcibly displace Palestinians, and entrench Israel’s “creeping annexation” of occupied Palestinian land.
