Ben-Gvir called for the “voluntary departure” of Palestinians from Gaza — a euphemism for ethnic cleansing.
Israel's far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir greets supporters as he arrives to join a protest calling for the continuation of the war efforts, near the prime minister's office in Jerusalem on May 5, 2024.
Israel’s national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said in chilling remarks on Tuesday that Israel’s ultimate goal with regard to Gaza must be to push Palestinians out of the region so that Israelis can settle the Gaza Strip. In a speech at a rally for the settlement of Gaza in southern Israel, Ben-Gvir openly called for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Gaza. “So that the problem does not return, two things must be done: return to the Gaza Strip and encourage the voluntary departure of the residents of Gaza. This is moral, rational and humanitarian,” he said, accordingand executing for decades now. It’s also notable that Palestinians currently have no way to “depart” Gaza other than death asBen-Gvir, one of the most powerful officials in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s far right coalition, then went on to call for a further blockade of humanitarian aid, even as Israel has already“I am ashamed that I am the only one in the cabinet who voted against the transfer of shipments to Gaza through . Do you want humanitarianism? Return the abductees,” he said, perhaps, in which Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich voted against calling for a continuation of hostage negotiations. “In order to preserve the security achievements that our soldiers lost their lives for, we must resettle Gaza with security forces and settlers that will embrace the land with love,” he said, according to. “This is the only true way, to make the Hamas Nazis pay a price and to defend our nation and country.”. Netanyahu has said that the goal of Israel’s genocide is to eliminate any future possibility of a Palestinian state, and hasa UN General Assembly resolution that called for the UN Security Cabinet, of which the U.S. is a member, to vote to accept Palestine as a full member of the UN and grant Palestine more rights within the body.For those who care about justice, liberation and even the very survival of our species, we must remember our power to take action.
