Far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir outlined a plan to forcibly remove Palestinians from Gaza and send them abroad, describing the proposal as "realistic," Middle East Eye reported. Ben Gvir, who holds one of the most hardline positions in Israel's government, put forward the displacement scheme without immediately detailing the mechanism for such removals or identifying potential destination countries.
The announcement marks an escalation in public statements from senior Israeli officials regarding the future disposition of Gaza's Palestinian population. Ben Gvir's National Security Ministry portfolio gives him significant influence over security policy, though the proposal would require broader government approval to move beyond the rhetorical stage.
