The enemy's Finance Minister, Bezalel Smotrich, claimed that "Gaza cannot survive as an independent entity and it would be better for the Palestinians there to leave for other countries."
Reuters quoted him as saying, "He supports the call of two members of the Israeli Knesset who wrote in an editorial for the Wall Street Journal that Western countries should accept families from Gaza who have expressed a desire to move elsewhere."
He added: "I welcome the initiative for the voluntary migration of Gaza Arabs to countries of the world... This is the correct humanitarian solution for the people of Gaza and the entire region after 75 years of refugees, poverty and danger."
He claimed that "a small area like the Gaza Strip that does not have natural resources cannot survive on its own," adding: "The State of Israel will no longer be able to accept the existence of an independent entity in Gaza."
