For the inhabitants of Gaza, there is no future. After the “war”, Israel no longer wants them there, in the Strip. “They must not be left in the Strip to be educated in hatred, as this would mean that further attacks against Israel are only a matter of time,” writes the Times of Israel newspaper [1], reporting the thoughts of Intelligence Minister [of Israel] Gila Gamliel.
This idea is then already a project, that of “voluntary immigration” elsewhere in the world.
« Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition is secretly in contact [with countries to ask them if they would] welcome thousands of immigrants from Gaza. “Congo will be willing to welcome migrants and we are in talks with other [countries],” said a senior source in the security cabinet,” the Times of Israel further specifies.
Congo where the situation is already unlivable, between militias and carnage.
But he is also “working” on other countries for the “voluntary” resettlement of Palestinians from Gaza.
In the talks between some members of the government parties, the newspaper further reveals, «the idea was also born of asking Saudi Arabia to welcome hundreds of thousands of Palestinians for work. The Gulf Kingdom is in the midst of a huge construction boom and employs nearly half a million workers, who currently come mainly from India, Bangladesh, and other countries.”
On the other hand, at the end of the “war”, Gaza will become unlivable: « Israel would cut ties with Gaza and expand its security buffer zones. The civilian population will be entirely dependent on humanitarian aid. There will be no work and 60% of Gaza’s agricultural land will become security buffer zones”, adds the Times of Israel, referring to statements by the Israeli government.
The Gazans left alive after months of indiscriminate bombing would have no future for themselves and their families in Gaza: “Voluntary immigration” would truly become the only viable option.
