- Ben Gvir's crocodiles are the latest weapon in Israel's animal warfare on Palestinians
Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir announced a plan to use Nile crocodiles as prison guards at Ketziot Prison in the Naqab desert. Environmental Protection Minister Idit Silman classified crocodiles as 'cultured wild animals' to facilitate their use, inspired by Florida's 'Alligator Alcatraz' migrant detention center. The article contextualizes this as part of historical Israeli strategies using animals to oppress Palestinians.
