Israeli Minister Unveils Plan to Remove Gaza's Population over Seven Years
Ben-Gvir said 250,000 Palestinians could leave Gaza in year one, with the rest of the enclave’s roughly 2 million residents over six years.
- On Thursday, Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir presented a plan dubbed "Disengagement 710" to promote the "voluntary emigration" of 1.86 million people from the Gaza Strip over seven years.
- The proposal includes 12 principles such as individual case files and financial allowances, requiring an initial investment of 10 billion shekels, with Ben Gvir seeking to establish a Ministry of Migration if his party Jewish Power remains in government.
- Ben Gvir claimed his policy gained legitimacy after United States President Donald Trump publicly raised the idea of encouraging emigration from Gaza, presenting a 100-day timeline to establish legal frameworks and agreements with host countries.
- For Palestinians, these proposals recall the "Nakba," or mass displacement during Israel's 1948 creation; forced displacement of civilians in occupied territory is considered a war crime under the Geneva Conventions.
- Implementation remains uncertain as past coalition remarks have not always led to action; Egypt, the only country bordering Gaza other than Israel, previously pushed back against similar proposals, complicating the plan's viability.
