verbatim · Hebrew
From Itamar Ben-Gvir (b. 1976, Otzma Yehudit chairman, Israeli Minister of National Security from 29 Dec 2022 onward in Netanyahu's sixth government):

**1995** (Israeli television, on Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin — then 19-year-old Ben-Gvir holding the hood ornament stolen from Rabin's Cadillac, weeks before Rabin's assassination by Yigal Amir on 4 Nov 1995):
"We got to his car, and we'll get to him too."
[Cited in Haaretz, 4 January 2016.]

**25 February 2019** (regarding Arab citizens of Israel not loyal to the state):
"Must be expelled" — his explicit position that disloyal Arab citizens of Israel should be expelled from the country.
[Cited in The Times of Israel, 24 February 2019.]

**13 October 2022** (during clashes in Sheikh Jarrah, East Jerusalem, before his appointment as National Security Minister):
"We're the landlords here, remember that, I am your landlord."
[Cited in The Times of Israel, 14 October 2022.]

**August 2023** (on differential right-of-movement in the West Bank between Israeli settlers and Palestinians):
"My right, and my wife's and my children's right, to get around on the roads in Judea and Samaria is more important than the right to movement for Arabs."
[Cited in BBC News, 25 August 2023.]

**On Gaza settlements** (post-Oct-7, advocating return of Israeli settlers to Gaza after the 2005 disengagement was reversed by force):
"We cannot withdraw from any territory we are in in the Gaza Strip. Not only do I not rule out Jewish settlement there, I believe it is also an important thing."
