An Israeli settler leader has told a conference on Israel’s frontier with Gaza that Palestinians will “disappear” from the territory and said that thousands of people stand ready to move there "from north to south”.
Addressing a conference on Monday also attended by Israeli Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and Knesset members from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party, Daniella Weiss called for Palestinians living in Gaza to be relocated to other countries.
“We came here with one clear purpose: the purpose is to settle the entire Gaza Strip, not just part of it, not just a few settlements, the entire Gaza Strip from north to south,” said Weiss.
Weiss, the leader of Nachala, an orthodox settler movement which organised the conference, said there were six settler groups and more than 700 families looking to settle in Gaza, where more than 42,600 Palestinians have been killed since Israel launched its war against Hamas in October last year following the Hamas-led attacks in southern Israel.
Weiss’s comments were echoed by Ben Gvir, who later told the crowd: “We are the owners of the land”. Ben Gvir also called for Palestinians in Gaza to “voluntarily” transfer to other countries.
Monday’s conference, which was billed by organisers as “a celebration for the preparation of settling Gaza", took place near Reim kibbutz, with the sound of Israel’s ongoing bombardment of northern Gaza audible in the background and with smoke rising over the horizon a few kilometres to the west.
This needs to be marked as another case in point for all the people who want to argue it’s not a genocide.
This is the opinions of one person.
If that makes this genocide then Palestine are committing genocide to a much much greater degree.
this is the opinion of the overhwelming majority of Israelis. “90% of Jewish Israelis supported the decision to start the offensive against Hezbollah even while the war was continuing in Gaza.” https://www.timesofisrael.com/netanyahu-is-riding-success-vs-hezbollah-but-will-oct-7-anniversary-change-that/
Only 19% of Israelis think the IDF has gone too far in Gaza https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2024/05/30/israeli-views-of-the-israel-hamas-war/
90% of people support the decision to attack a foreign hostile enemy that is launching thousands of rockets into Israel.
Shock.
Hamas still exists so obviously they haven’t finished yet.
Israel haa no plans to stop committing Genocide
They do. The death or at the very least the displacement of every single Palestinian in Gaza and the West bank will be the end of their Genocide. Unless someone intervene.
Nah they are particularly rabid now and want Iran Syria and lebanon
They will most likely continue, why stop there?
Just like when Hitler stopped at Austria, right?
Daniella Weiss is not just any “one person” just line Steve Banon is not just any “one person”. She has the ear of the government and significant political pull with the settlers and the settler parties.
hey look… we found the zionist
I think you’re lost. reddit.com/r/worldnews is that way ->
I agree, one person’s opinion doesn’t make it a fact. But the shrinking of Palestines borders over time tell a clear story. This is a genocide
