While the Israeli Ministers of Finance and National Security continue to promote their idea of the need for Palestinians to emigrate from the Gaza Strip, the German Foreign Ministry announced its rejection in the strongest terms of the unhelpful statements of Israeli government ministers regarding the displacement of the population of Gaza.
The German Foreign Ministry spokesman said: “The Palestinians should not be expelled from Gaza, nor should the area of the Strip be reduced,” stressing his country’s commitment to the two-state solution because it is the only sustainable model for coexistence between Israelis and Palestinians.
US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller criticized the statements of Israeli ministers who stressed the necessity of displacing civilians from the Gaza Strip, stressing that the United States rejects the statements and considers them inflammatory and irresponsible.
Miller said: “The Israeli government, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has repeatedly informed us that these statements do not reflect the position of the Israeli government,” indicating that his country considers Gaza to be Palestinian land and will remain Palestinian land.
Yesterday, Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir renewed the call for the emigration of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, regardless of the opinion of the United States, which condemned the issuance of such positions.
Ben Gvir said: “The United States is our best friend, but we will do above all what is in the interest of the State of Israel. The migration of hundreds of thousands from Gaza will allow the residents of the envelope (the Gaza envelope) to return to their homes and live in safety and will protect the soldiers of the Israeli army.”< /p>
While the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation quoted Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich today as saying that more than 70% of the Israeli public supports a humanitarian solution to encourage the voluntary migration of Gaza Arabs and their absorption in other countries, adding: Israeli society will not agree to the continuation of this reality in Gaza. We We are required to rethink and participate with our friends in the international community.
On the other hand, European Union foreign policy official Josep Borrell said that the international community must impose a solution to the conflict between the Palestinians and Israel, considering that the two sides will never reach an agreement.
Borrell criticized the Israeli military tactics that lead to the killing of civilians in the Gaza Strip
