In the clip published by Ben Gvir on X, the minister and two other individuals, including a prison guard, surround Marwan Barghouti in a corner of his cell.

“You will not defeat us. Whoever harms the people of Israel, whoever kills children, whoever kills women … we will erase them,” #BenGvir says in Hebrew.

Barghouti tries to respond but is interrupted by Ben Gvir, who says: “No, you know this. And it’s been the case throughout history.”
