The assignment would require 5,000 Gazans to take it every day, says the Minister of Israel.
Israel is about to start preparations to move the Palestinians out of the Gaza lane. The country’s government is planning a special agency for the task of the Israeli Ministry of Defense, says the Israeli magazine Haaretz.
The plan has been told by the Minister of Economy of Israel Bezalel Smotrich. According to Smotrich Donald Trump as planned.
– We are preparing this under the leadership of the Prime Minister and Minister of Defense. The budget will not be an obstacle, Smotrich said, according to Haaretz.
The Minister also estimates that 5,000 people should be moved out of the Gaza lane every day to implement the plan. According to the UN estimates, just over two million people live in the Gaza lane, most of whom have had to flee out of their own homes.
– If we take away 5,000 (inhabitants) a day, this will take a year. Logistics is complicated because you have to know who is going in which country, he added.
Population exile is a war crime
According to international law, the forced transfer of the population is a war crime. In practice, the work is equivalent to ethnic cleaning.
In the Israeli neighborhood, the Arab countries have accepted the Egyptian plan to rebuild Gaza, which would allow the Gazans to stay in their home region during the reconstruction. The Egyptian plan was approved at the Arab Association meeting in Cairo this week.
However, Israel and the United States have rejected the plan, and according to the White House, President Trump remains “behind his vision”.
