Far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich also welcomes the notion of removing Palestinians from Gaza, as floated by Trump.
“After 76 years during which the majority of Gaza’s population has been forcibly kept in harsh conditions to preserve the aspiration of destroying the State of Israel, the idea of helping them find other places to start new, better lives is an excellent idea,” he says in a statement.
“For years, politicians have proposed impractical solutions like dividing the land and establishing a Palestinian state, which endangered the existence and security of the world’s only Jewish state, leading only to bloodshed and suffering for many. Only out-of-the-box thinking and new solutions will bring about peace and security,” he adds.
“With God’s help, I will work with the prime minister and the cabinet to develop an operational plan to implement this as soon as possible.”
