Israel Katz reiterates Gaza depopulation stance, no viable alternative
Al Jazeera·IL · PS·about 12 hours ago
Otzma Yehudit leader Itamar Ben-Gvir will present a program to incentivize voluntary emigration of Gaza residents, targeting 250,000 in the first year and 1.86 million within seven years, with grants and a new 'Ministry of Immigration'. The plan is a condition for his party's entry into the next government, but no country has agreed to absorb Gazans, and the Trump administration has distanced itself from the idea. This signals a potential shift in Israeli political discourse toward population transfer, though feasibility remains highly uncertain.
