Israel is actively developing a large-scale emigration plan for Arabs in Gaza, in coordination from the United States, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said on Sunday.
Speaking to the Knesset’s Land of Israel Caucus, the Religious Zionism Party leader said that the government, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz, is working to establish a “migration administration” to oversee the process.
Smotrich outlined a proposed timeline, suggesting that relocating 10,000 people daily could see the process completed within six months. He said that financial constraints would not hinder the effort, despite its logistical complexity.
“The budget will not stand as an obstacle,” he said, according to Ma’ariv. “There is an abysmal and deep hatred of Israel, and [US] administration officials told me – it is not possible that 2 million people with hatred of Israel will remain within spitting distance of your fence.”
