Israel’s Information Minister Gila Gamliel today called on the international community to “promote the voluntary resettlement” of Palestinians “outside the Gaza Strip,” “instead of sending money to rebuild” the Palestinian enclave that is being pounded by Israel.

In a text published in the Jerusalem Post, Gila Gamliel, a member of Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party, suggests “promoting the voluntary resettlement of Gaza’s Palestinians outside the Gaza Strip, for humanitarian reasons,” while attacking the United Nations’ agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA.

“Instead of sending money for the reconstruction of Gaza or for the inadequate Unrwa, the international community can participate in financing the relocation and assistance of the residents of Gaza to build their new lives in the new host countries,” writes the Israeli minister.

“We tried many different solutions: withdrawal (from Gaza’s Jewish settlements), enrichment, managing the conflict and building high walls in the hope of keeping the monsters of Hamas out of Israel. They all failed.”

“It would be beneficial for both: for the citizens of Gaza, who want a better life, and for Israel, after this terrible tragedy.”

80% of the people of Gaza they are refugees or descendants of refugees who were driven from their lands during the “Nakba”, the catastrophe that the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948 meant for the Palestinian population. Many today believe that they are facing a “second Nakba”.

Both the president of the United States, Joe Bidenas well as the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, just yesterday sent a warning to Israel excluding any forced relocation of the Palestinians of the Gaza Strip.

“There must be no forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza, no new occupation, no siege or blockade, no territorial reduction,” wrote in an opinion piece that the American president published in the Washington Post.

On the contrary, the American president considers that “the Palestinian Authority should, in the end, take over the governance of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank after the war between Israel and Hamas”

“As we fight for peace, Gaza and the West Bank they should be reunited under a common governing structure and ultimately under a reconstituted Palestinian Authority while we all work toward a two-state solution,” he writes.

The US president responded with his article to the question of what Washington wants the future of the Gaza Strip to be after the war, as well as to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s statements according to which Israel must maintain “total military responsibility” in Gaza “for the foreseeable future”.

From Cairo, the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen stated after the completion of her talks with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi that she is against the displacement of the Palestinians.

“We agree on the principle of non-displacement of the Palestinians and on a political horizon based on the two-state solution,” Palestinian and Israeli, he said.
