Israeli Cabinet Minister Adds To Calls For ‘Voluntary Emigration’ From Gaza
HuffPost
The comment came after U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken condemned talk of “resettlement of Palestinians” from some Israeli officials.
An Israeli Cabinet minister said this week that the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip will compel Palestinians to leave the territory, despite widespread condemnation of Israeli calls for so-called “voluntary emigration” amid an invasion that Gazan health authorities say has claimed the lives of more than 23,000 Palestinians.
In an interview posted online Monday by Israeli broadcaster Knesset TV, Israeli Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi said “we certainly need to encourage emigration” from Gaza.
HuffPost independently translated the conversation, a clip of which gained attention on X, formerly Twitter, Wednesday.
“I said voluntary emigration, and in Judaism, there is an idea known as ‘Compelling him until he says, I want,’” Kahri said shortly before the clip of the interview shared on X begins, referring to a Jewish legal concept that typically applies to divorce or charitable giving.
When the interviewer, Moran Azulay, asked how the Israeli government would accomplish that, Karhi’s reply was blunt.
