Officials of his government are now openly taking sides Israel in favor of the complete and final expulsion of Palestinians off their land and turning them into refugees.
Israel’s Information Minister Gila Gamliel today called on the international community to “promote the voluntary relocation” of Palestinians “outside the Gaza Strip”. “instead of sending money to rebuild” the Palestinian enclave that is being pounded by Israel.
“Instead of sending money for the reconstruction of Gaza or for the inadequate UNRWA, the international community can participate in funding the relocation and relief of the people of Gaza» asserts the Israeli minister
Drive the Palestinians “to new host countries”
In a text published in Jerusalem Post, Gila Gamliela member of Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party, suggests “promoting the voluntary resettlement of Gazan Palestinians outside the Gaza Strip, for humanitarian reasons” and in the meantime he attacks the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA.
“Instead of sending money for the reconstruction of Gaza or for the inadequate UNRWA, the international community can participate in financing the relocation and helping the people of Gaza to build their new lives in the new host countries,” writes the Israeli minister.
“We have tried many different solutions: withdrawal (from the Jewish settlements of Gaza), enrichment, conflict management and building high walls in the hope that we will keep the monsters of Hamas out of Israel. They all failed».
“It would be beneficial for both: the citizens of Gaza, who want a better life, and Israel, after this terrible tragedy».
The West reacts
Both the President of the United States, Joe Biden, and the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, issued a warning to Israel just yesterday, ruling out any forced relocation of the Palestinians of the Gaza Strip.
“There must be no forced displacement of the Palestinians from Gaza, no new occupation, no siege or blockade, no territorial reduction,” the American president wrote in an opinion piece published in the Washington Post.
On the contrary, the American president believes that “the Palestinian Authority should, in the end, take over the governance of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank after the war between Israel and Hamas”.
“Reunite Gaza and the West Bank”
“As we fight for peace, Gaza and the West Bank should be reunited under a common governing structure and ultimately under a reconstituted Palestinian Authority, while we all work toward a two-state solution,” he writes.
The US president responded with his article to the question of what Washington wants the future of the Gaza Strip to be after the war, as well as to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s statements according to which Israel must maintain “total military responsibility” in Gaza “for the foreseeable future”.
From Cairo, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said after the conclusion of her talks with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi that she is against the displacement of the Palestinians.
“We agree on the principle of non-displacement of the Palestinians and on a political horizon based on the two-state solution,” Palestinian and Israeli, he said.
