In an interview with āMeet the Pressā on Channel 12, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich says that Israel is actively in touch with Washington to discuss the implementation of US President Donald Trumpās plan to move residents of the Gaza Strip abroad.
āThe process of emigration from Gaza will begin in the coming weeks,ā Smotrich states.
āGazans will have nothing to look for in Gaza in the next 10-15 years. After we return to fighting and all of Gaza looks like Jabalia ā they will have nothing to look for there at all.ā
In a joint appearance with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump last week called to permanently relocate the entire population of the Gaza Strip, insisting the Palestinians āhave no alternativeā but to leave the ābig pile of rubbleā that is Gaza after over 15 months of Israeli bombardment targeting Hamas.
Afterward, Defense Minister Israel Katz said he had instructed the military to prepare a plan that would enable Gazans seeking to leave the Strip voluntarily to do so.
In January, Smotrich said that he was working to turn Trumpās ideas about Gaza into an actionable policy. He has previously stated that Israel should occupy Gaza and āencourageā half of the Stripās 2.2 million Palestinians to emigrate within two years.
Voluntary emigration of Gazans to begin within weeks? I love it.
