Moshe Feiglin Statements on Gaza

On June 12, 2024, Moshe Feiglin, an Israeli politician and former Knesset member, made statements regarding Palestinians in Gaza that drew widespread international attention. In a televised interview on Channel 12, he quoted Adolf Hitler’s statement about Jews (“I cannot live if one Jew remains”) and adapted the sentiment to Gaza, stating that Israel cannot live with hostile elements remaining there.

Feiglin’s remarks included references to removing or transforming Gaza in response to perceived security threats. Media reports and human rights organizations interpreted his rhetoric as dehumanizing and genocidal. Additional statements reported in May 2025 claimed that “every child in Gaza is the enemy” and implied that no Gazan children should remain in the territory.

These statements were widely condemned internationally, though they reflect Feiglin’s personal political views and not official policy of the Israeli government. The remarks occurred during the context of heightened conflict between Israel and Gaza and were cited by multiple sources including news outlets and human rights monitoring groups.
