Netanyahu: We will allow the residents of Gaza to emigrate abroad during and after the battles.

The Israeli occupation government’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, announced that residents of the Gaza Strip wishing to leave the territory will be allowed to emigrate abroad during and after the fighting. This announcement comes at a time when the genocide against Palestinians has been ongoing for 22 months.

During an interview with the Hebrew channel 'i24', Netanyahu mentioned that his government is in contact with countries that could host the people of Gaza, but he refused to disclose the names of these countries. He confirmed that the step includes allowing civilians to leave the combat zones within Gaza first and then leave the territory.

Netanyahu pointed out that millions of people left Syria due to the war, as well as in Ukraine and Afghanistan, questioning: 'Why should Gaza be closed?'. The Israeli blockade on the Gaza Strip for 18 years has displaced about 1.5 million Palestinians out of approximately 2.4 million.

Netanyahu also emphasized that Israel is in talks with other countries to receive Palestinians from Gaza, as the Associated Press reported that Israel is discussing with South Sudan the possibility of 'transferring' Gaza Palestinians there.

The occupation adopts former U.S. President Donald Trump's plan for the forced displacement of Palestinians, but faces widespread Arab, Islamic, and international rejection due to its violation of international and humanitarian law.

For decades, the occupying state has occupied Palestine and lands in Syria and Lebanon, refusing to withdraw from them or establish an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, based on the borders prior to the 1967 war.

In the interview, Netanyahu spoke about his connection to what he called the 'Greater Israel Vision', which relies on expansion and the occupation of more Arab lands and the displacement of Palestinians.

When asked if he feels he is 'on a mission on behalf of the Jewish people', Netanyahu replied that he is on a mission of generations, affirming his strong connection to the Greater Israel Vision, which includes the occupied Palestinian territories and parts of Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and Egypt.
