The Israeli government officially announced last week a detailed 20-page plan for the so-called "voluntary emigration" of Gaza's inhabitants. The document, presented by Interior Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, was described by him as "realistic," "concrete," and unequivocal in its objectives of depopulating the territory.
The plan establishes two phases of execution. In the first, with a 12-month deadline, the goal is to force the departure of 250,000 people. In the second phase, over the following six years, the remaining Gazan population, estimated at 2 million people, should completely abandon the territory. Ben-Gvir stated he already possesses a list of countries willing to receive the displaced.
The Israeli Defense Minister, Israel Katz, declared that he is merely awaiting approval from United States President Donald Trump to begin implementing the plan "at any cost." The article classifies the measure as ethnic cleansing and the eradication of Palestinian life in Gaza.
