Israeli journalist Shimon Riklin's statement supporting the war crimes committed by his country in Gaza has sparked outrage.
During an appearance on Israel's Channel 14 television, Riklin stressed in his comments: "If I don't see houses being demolished in Gaza, I can't sleep."
Riklin, who caused an international backlash with his controversial comments, reiterated his stance on war crimes by declaring, "I support war crimes." He also expressed indifference towards the criticisms.
Riklin said his wish for the Israeli army to demolish additional homes and buildings in Gaza, leaving residents with no place to go upon their return.
Citing the Torah, Riklin asserted that a compromise with Palestinians would be impossible to achieve.
