'100-200,000, Not Two Million': Israel's Finance Minister Envisions Depopulated Gaza

Israel's far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich joined a growing list of senior lawmakers who expressed support for large-scale transfer of Gaza's civilian population as a solution to Israel's post-war security concerns

Without outlining his preferred method, Smotrich then suggested that the removal of around 90 percent of Gaza's residents would help achieve his goal. "If there are 100,000 or 200,000 Arabs in Gaza and not two million, the whole discourse about the day after will be different," he said.

Smotrich's comments are the latest in a growing list of troubling remarks by Israeli lawmakers to seemingly support expelling Gazans en masse out of the Strip in order to ensure Israel's security after the war.

Last week, Likud MK Danny Danon said in an interview with Kan Bet radio that Israel "has to make it easier for Gazans to leave for other countries," explaining that this would in fact be a humanitarian gesture towards their neighbors.

Last month, Intelligence Minister Gila Gamliel published an op-ed in the Jerusalem Post with a similar suggestion, calling on Western countries to take in the residents of the Gaza Strip, in an act of "voluntary resettlement."

At a meeting of Likud Knesset members last week, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu himself suggested that he sees mass transfer of Palestinian civilians out of Gaza a positive outcome of the war.

"Removing Hamas" appears to be Israel's pretext for genocide and ethnic cleansing.

One can only guess what final solution Israel will arrive at if Palestinians won't leave or other countries won't take them.
