Israeli MK: Israel has received inquiries from countries to accept refugees from Gaza

Knesset member and former UN ambassador Danny Danon said Monday night, in an interview on Kan Bet, that the State of Israel has received inquiries from countries willing to take in refugees from the Gaza Strip. "I received inquiries from various countries... from countries that are ready to take in refugees and in the past were even in contact with the State of Israel on this issue... these are countries from South America and Africa," adding that "some of them asked for payment and some of them asked for other things."

According to the Knesset member, this is "voluntary migration of Palestinians who wish to leave." "It happens in every war, look at what's happening in Syria – one and a half million went to Jordan, three million went to Turkey and another few million went to Europe," Danon said, suggesting that "we will keep in touch with the countries of the region first, and the countries of the world, and not scare them with large numbers. Even if each country receives ten thousand, twenty thousand Gazans, this is significant." Yesterday, Netanyahu said that he is ready to encourage voluntary immigration of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, but that Israel's issue is finding countries to accept the refugees.

Danon, discussing a government in the Gaza Strip after the war, said that "an international force composed of moderate Arab countries is the one that will deal with civil issues." He also said, "there is no reason to rehabilitate [Gaza] if they are not ready to renounce incitement and terrorism."

' Israel-Hamas War Day 81: IDF Releases Names of Two Reserve Soldiers Killed in Gaza on Monday.
Iranian Foreign Minister threatens Israel following assassination of senior Revolutionary Guard officer.

At least 1,200 civilians and soldiers were killed in Israel on Oct. 7; at least 130 hostages still held in Gaza ■ Hamas-run health ministry: 20,424 killed, 54,036 wounded in Gaza '

And just how many more deaths must it take before the world reacts with some deliberate, detailed and dedicated response to the region's latest headlong plunge into yet another round of barbaric conflict, the futility of which can only give rise to still more of the same in days to come and in the years that follow?

I’ve never seen so many attempts to delete perfectly civil comments. It’s a sign of the right wing’s distress.

Hezbollah whines that israel has a crossed a red line.
Which line is that Nasrallah? Is it perhaps the Litani River Line of UN Resolution 1701?

They keep deleting comments because they are xionists for whom truth is a danger. We keep writing because our conscience is pure, and we were not brought up by our parents to uphold depravity.

No, the refugees arriving in FRG didn't live in refugee camps for 75 years.
-
After livingcin refugee camps, they return to where they came from, which is Haifa, Jerusalem, Deir Yassin, Tantura, Hebron etc.: https://www.palestineremembered.com/
You can't first depoet them, then bomb them and saycthey run away "voluntarily".
-
Let them go back to Haifa, Hebron etc. and give then equal rights, let them vote for the Knesset.

Netanyahu says the problem is not whether to allow voluntary migration from Gaza, but whether countries will absorb it
"
The same "voluntary migration" the massacres of Deir Yassin and Tantura caused - your ideas of 1947 didn't change, we see. The ethnic cleansing Illan Pappé described:

Die ethnische Säuberung Palästinas Ilan Pappé , Ulrike Bischoff (Translator)
[…]Nach der Unabhängigkeit Israels werden 531 Dörfer und elf städtische Siedlungen mit Waffengewalt geräumt, 800.000 Palästinenser/innen zur Flucht gezwungen, ihre Häuser samt Mobiliar dem Erdboden gleichgemacht und die Ruinen vermint. Anhand von Augenzeugenberichten, Tagebuchauszügen und Dokumenten aus Militärarchiven, die bis vor kurzem unter Verschluss gehalten wurden, zeichnet Ilan Pappe ein Bild der Ereignisse zwischen 1947 und 1948, das der offiziellen Geschichtsdarstellung und dem Gründungsmythos Israels in entscheidenden Punkten widerspricht.

The Guardian reports: "More than 100 people were killed in Israeli airstrikes late on Sunday in the centre of the besieged Palestinian territory, including at least 70 in bombings that hit a residential block in the Maghazi refugee camp near Deir al-Balah, health officials in the Hamas-controlled exclave said. Deir al-Balah was also hit overnight despite previously being identified by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) as an “evacuation zone” for Palestinians fleeing the fighting."

[…] I had 7 conversations with the police; all of these conversations are recorded. Together with the terrorists; this means that every time I started the conversation by saying "Hello, I'm Yasmin from Kibbutz Be’eri, we’ve been kidnapped in the house of Pessi Cohen. Please save us.”
[…]

[…] in 1 of the conversations, I remember they brought in Liel. She came to me, + she took the phone from me + she shouted something a bit more frantically, “Please come help me!” Her voice was more frantic, + so was the way she said things. Then they sat her back down.

-
idf even knew Liel (Hetzroni) was really in the house, 'cause they have her recorded in this 1of7 police calls.
-
For nearly 3 months, the idf lies to the israelis + unsc, saying hamas killed Liel Hetzroni, ommitting, that 1 fighter came out with Yasmin+surrendered. All others had surrendered,but police started shooting prohibiting it.

If Israel were serious about eliminating islamic extremists, they would target their “good buddy” Saudi Arabia, home of the most dangerous religious extremists. Hypocrites.
