Israeli Knesset Member Almog Cohen, affiliated with the Jewish Power party, has sparked controversy with his remarks advocating for the killing of Palestinians during the month of Ramadan, stating, "They're weak and tired." In a statement made on Israeli Channel 14, Cohen described Ramadan as the 'best time to kill them,' citing their weakened state due to fasting. His comments come in the wake of a UN resolution calling for a ceasefire throughout the remaining two weeks of Ramadan. Cohen's call for violence targets the people of Gaza, specifically urging Prime Minister Netanyahu to invade Rafah City and exploit the holy month to carry out attacks against Palestinians.
