The Cradle

Senior Israeli security officials met on Tuesday to discuss the possibility of expelling Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, despite a consistent track record of failed attempts to advance the policy. According to Haaretz, National Security Council chief Shmuel Ben Ezra convened the urgent meeting with representatives from the Israeli army, Shin Bet, and Mossad to address what Israel terms “encouraging voluntary emigration.”
During the session, Mossad representatives reportedly admitted they have failed to identify a single country willing to accept displaced Palestinians from Gaza. Military officials expressed surprise at the sudden urgency of the discussion, noting that the issue has been raised repeatedly in the past without progress.
A security source told Haaretz that the renewed push could potentially be part of a “compensation” package delivered to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by US President Donald Trump following a US-Iran agreement. Members of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee dismissed the plan as lacking political or international feasibility due to fierce opposition from Arab states and the wider international community.
The rhetoric of forced displacement continues to gain traction across the Israeli political spectrum. Intelligence Minister Israel Katz established a dedicated directorate for Gaza emigration last year, and the defense minister recently stated that the expulsion of the Palestinian population would occur at the appropriate time.
The sentiment extends beyond Gaza, as Likud lawmaker and Deputy Knesset Speaker Nissim Vaturi publicly called on Tuesday for the total expulsion of Palestinians from the occupied West Bank, asserting that Israeli settlers would never live in peace until all Arabs are removed from the area.
