'We Must Settle Gaza Now' Netanyahu Ministers Join Israeli Far-right 'March to Gaza,' Demand Palestinians' Expuls

[Nanjeanne]

Thousands of Israelis joined a far-right Independence Day march on Tuesday in the south, led by Jewish activists advocating for resettling Gaza and forcing Palestinians to leave the enclave.

They were supported by lawmakers speaking at the event, including two cabinet members: Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi, who is a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party, and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir of Otzma Yehudit.

"In order to preserve the security achievements that our soldiers lost their lives for, we must resettle Gaza with security forces and settlers that will embrace the land with love," Karhi said. He said that "this is the only real way to make the Hamas Nazis pay a price and to defend our nation and country."

Ben-Gvir also spoke at the march, saying that what the protesters are calling for was the "true solution." "First," he said, "we must return to Gaza now! We are coming home to the Holy Land! And second," he continued, "we must encourage emigration. Encourage the voluntary emigration of the residents of Gaza. It is moral!"

I’m sick to my stomach reading their words. But they are at least admitting what some of us have always known.
