DayofPal– Israeli Minister Idit Silman has publicly endorsed the mass expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza, calling it the “only solution” and a “realistic” policy approach.
Speaking to Reshet Bet public radio on Tuesday, the Likud party minister stated that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government is actively working to “encourage emigration” from Gaza.
Silman framed the policy as a divinely sanctioned opportunity, asserting, “God has sent us the U.S. administration, and it is clearly telling us it’s time to inherit the land.”
Silman also voiced support for the return of Israeli settlements in Gaza, specifically mentioning Gush Katif, a former settlement bloc evacuated in 2005.
“Gush Katif will return, there’s no question about it,” she declared. “It could be in single-family homes or Trump-style towers, but we will definitely go back there.”
Her remarks contribute to a growing pattern of Israeli officials making statements that align with calls for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Gaza.
Over the past three months, multiple government figures have repeatedly dehumanized Palestinians and framed Gaza’s entire population as an enemy.
Israel’s ongoing military campaign in Gaza has resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands and the displacement of millions. Despite widespread international condemnation, the United States continues to provide military and diplomatic support to Israel, shielding it from Accountability.
