Israel's Land-Grab in Gaza Picks up Pace, as Thousands Prepare to Resettle After Genocide
Netanyahu has said he opposed the formation of a Palestinian state and was joined by other top leaders in the country who agreed with him
Top Israelis have been working on plans to re-settle Gaza since the 7 October Hamas attack and have reportedly “ramped up their efforts” in the past few weeks.
Culture and Sports Minister Miki Zohar and Tourism Minister Haim Katz, both members of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party, are listed as speakers at a “Jewish settlement in Gaza” conference in Jerusalem on Sunday. About 3,000 people are expected to show up, The Times of Israel reported.

Katz said reestablishing the settlements “will be a resolute message to our murderous enemies that we will never be broken.”
History will record that countries like the United States, Britain, and Germany cried for Ukraine when Russia invaded it, accused Russia of crimes against humanity, and rushed support and assistance to Ukraine, and when it came to Israel’s war on the Palestinians, they stood by and pretended nothing was happening, rushed weapons to Israel, explained away the crimes of the Israeli army, prevented ceasefires, and forgot their own humanity. - Mehran Kamrava, a professor of government at Georgetown University in Qatar
Netanyahu has said he opposed the formation of a Palestinian state and was joined by other top leaders in the country who agreed with him.
Zohar posted on X: “Our brothers’ and sisters’ blood was not spilled so that the Palestinians would be rewarded and we would risk our future in our land. I say clearly to everyone who is still stuck on October 6: We will never participate in the establishment of a Palestinian state. This is our commitment to the holy martyrs and fallen heroes.”

Netanyahu said there will no be a Palestinian state after the current war is completed and that Israel must have “security control over the entire territory west of the Jordan River.”
TRENDPOST: You must be blind if you don’t see the blatant hypocrisy from the U.S. in its approach to the Israeli War on Gaza, Mehran Kamrava, a professor of government at Georgetown University in Qatar said.
“U.S. policy toward the war has been nothing other than hypocritical,” he said in an interview with The Tehran Times. “The United States is the only country that has repeatedly vetoed UN Security Council resolutions calling for ceasefire, it has unconditionally supported Israel with weapons, it has actively prevented a cessation of the war, and yet it warns other countries from becoming involved. One has to be completely oblivious to reality not to see U.S. hypocrisy in this conflict.”
He also noted that top Israeli ministers have said—clearly—that Palestinians should be forced to leave the coastal enclave. He said Gaza is in ruins and there is essentially no infrastructure.
“Don’t you think that the ulterior motive of the Netanyahu government is to force Gazans to leave the enclave?” he said.
The professor spoke with The Tehran Times and said it is clear—despite claims from the U.S. otherwise—Israel’s top objective is to depopulate Gaza of its Palestinian population. He said President Joe Biden is willing to look the other way while Israel “carries out its indiscriminate massacre of Palestinians, and the destruction of tens of thousands of Palestinian lives so that he could get re-elected.”
He said, “History will record that countries like the United States, Britain, and Germany cried for Ukraine when Russia invaded it, accused Russia of crimes against humanity, and rushed support and assistance to Ukraine, and when it came to Israel’s war on the Palestinians, they stood by and pretended nothing was happening, rushed weapons to Israel, explained away the crimes of the Israeli army, prevented ceasefires, and forgot their own humanity.”
