                  Israel Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir on Sunday lashed
 out against Israel war cabinet for its decision to supply fuel to Gaza.
  The
 minister who is known for his hardline stands told media persons that 
the move of the Israel war cabinet comprising of Prime Minister Benjamin
 Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and Minister without 
portfolio, Benny Gantz is not acceptable.
  He said that with the 
hostages still in Hamas custody, it is a bad decision to supply fuel to 
Gaza. “Hamas will use the diesel supplies against Israel,” the minister 
said.
  He asked what U.S will do under the similar conditions, in an obvious reference to Israel budging under U.S pressure.
  The
 minister also told media persons that people must keep guns at home and
 added that a gun will save a family and an assault rifle will save a 
neighbourhood.
  The minister was denied a place in the war cabinet after the October 7 Hamas attack on the pretext that he was not a soldier.
  He has also faced heavy criticism over his position on treatment of prisoners.
