Speaking at the Yom Yerushalayim celebration held Monday night at Mercaz Harav Yeshiva, Minister Itamar Ben Gvir emphasized the necessity of achieving a clear and decisive win against those who threaten Israel.
“On Yom Yerushalayim, we stand in the heart of the city that was united, in the heart of the Jewish story, and declare loudly, ‘We are winning.’ Our message to our enemies on all fronts—you didn’t succeed in the past, and you won’t succeed today. The people of Israel will not be defeated,” Ben Gvir declared.
He stressed that the fight is still ongoing and far from finished. “We must recognize that the battle is not yet over. Our hearts are with the hostages held by a cruel terrorist organization. We will not rest or give up until we bring them home. But not through a surrender deal—only by bringing Hamas to its knees. I say to the Prime Minister that we must enact the death penalty law for terrorists and promote voluntary emigration—because this is the way of the Torah.”
Ben Gvir closed with a passionate appeal, invoking both national and spiritual aspirations. “We are a generation that does not shy away from responsibility and stands by its principles. We will pray for a complete victory, for the return of the hostages, for death to terrorists, and for complete redemption on the Har Habayis and in our Bais Hamikdosh.”

I love the guy who chooses which part of the Torah to keep. Going onto Har Habyis is chiyuv kores according to most poskim.
Only those who follow your “most poskim” are chiyuv kores.
idk but his local orthodox rabbi said he could
The gedolim have all unanimously voted AGAINST the death penalty for terrorists. The simple reason being, what if a Jew commits an act of terrorism, will Israel apply the death penalty for him? You need a sanhedrin to give a jew the death penalty. There needs to be proper eidim and hasrah. There is obviously no way to distinguish between a jew who commits terrorism and a non jew who commits terrorism.
The reason being that death penalty will ONLY be applied to innocent Jews, especially “Settlers”. Never will the G-dless judges apply it to Arab terrorists.
Even if one can justify going on Har Habayis (immersing the day before and assuming he is not a zav, and assuming he can be certain of the boundary of the azara, and having chutzpa to defy the rebbinate and gdolei haposkim) what about the unnecessary provocation which weakens Israel’s reputation among Western countries and gives excuses for strong reactions from the Arab countries! Not smart. He’s making it hard for our prime minister to navigate the pressures from outside.
How about the death penalty for going on har habayis and provoking terror attacks, r”l
As if there is/was no terror attacks when no one goes on Har Habayis.
hashem knows
