Minister Ben-Gvir in a call to Netanyahu: "It's time to flatten Dahiyeh"
Against the backdrop of the restricted cabinet meeting on May 30, 2026, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to adopt a more aggressive military policy on the northern front. According to the report in GLOBAL ANALYST 🕎 عالمי, Minister Ben-Gvir declared before entering the discussion: "I love you, I appreciate you, but it's time to flatten Dahiyeh."
This call was published simultaneously in Israel Hayom and 🎗️Israel News IL🎗️, which highlighted the direct message the minister conveyed to the Prime Minister. This is a statement expressing the political pressure exerted on Netanyahu from within the cabinet to escalate military activity in the Dahiyeh quarter of Beirut.
Also in ynet news, which is identified with general news coverage and is sometimes critical of the government, Ben-Gvir's demand was highlighted. While sources like the GLOBAL ANALYST 🕎 عالمי channel sometimes tend to emphasize nationalist or hardline security messages, the report in ynet presented the matter as part of the intense political discourse surrounding the management of the war and the strategy against Hezbollah.
