Israel’s ambassador to Austria, David Roet, has suggested executing Palestinian minors involved in armed conflict, a secretly recorded video has revealed.

During a closed-door meeting with the local Jewish community in Innsbruck on Thursday, Roet said that “there should be a death sentence” for teenagers for “holding a gun” or a “grenade”. He provided no evidence of children carrying weapons in Gaza.

The video was recorded two days after Israel broke the Gaza ceasefire on 18 March, by which time more than 500 Palestinians were killed, of which almost 200 were children.

Roet dismissed concerns over civilian casualties in Gaza, stating: “If you believe that there are no uninvolved [people] in Gaza… you’re believing that Israel is targeting babies intentionally, which is not correct.”

    Wow reportedly Hamas uses scouts now instead of armed children. At least reportedly according to Jfeed? I guess that is why the IDF kills so many children. All those kids without weapons were actually on the lookout. Must be valid military targets.

    Hamas as a non-state actor is only allowed 18 and above.

    My sides. Oh my sides.

    Meanwhile in Israel
