Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has unveiled a complete plan to expel 1.86 million Palestinians from Gaza over seven years, according to Shehab Wire. The proposal marks an escalation in official Israeli rhetoric, following a series of statements in recent days that the news agency said are no longer open to ambiguous interpretation.
Ben Gvir, an extremist minister in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government, presented the detailed expulsion scheme as part of what appears to be a coordinated campaign of public messaging on the issue. The timeline for the forced displacement spans seven years, targeting the entire Palestinian population currently in the Gaza Strip.
