Israel in talks to send Palestinians from Gaza to Congo, other countries [View all]

[Donkees]

Israeli officials are said to be holding discussions with Congo and other nations to where they plan to send displaced Palestinians from Gaza, Israel’s Zman Yisrael media reports.

“Congo will be willing to take in migrants and we’re in talks with others,” the Hebrew news site quoted a senior source in Israel’s security cabinet as saying. The site also quoted Israel’s Intelligence Minister Gila Gamliel advocating for the displacement of Gaza residents.

“At the end of the war… There will be no work, and 60% of Gaza’s agricultural land will become security buffer zones,” said Gamliel, according to Zman Yisrael.

Rights advocates have slammed war-time calls to push Palestinians out of Gaza, calling them efforts to ethnically cleanse the besieged Palestinian enclave for good. On Tuesday, even the US, a staunch backer of Israel and its war on Gaza, spoke out against resettlement plans advocated by Israeli ministers, with State Department spokesman Matthew Miller calling the rhetoric “inflammatory and irresponsible”.
