Smotrich says `Migration Directorate` being set up to displace Palestinians
Far-right Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has said that the government is planning to create a "Migration Directorate" in connection to US President Donald Trump`s plan to forcibly eject Palestinians from Gaza.
"We are establishing a Migration Directorate, we are preparing for this thing headed by the prime minister and the defence minister. The budget won`t be an obstacle for this," Smotrich said.
"There are preparations for a large Migration Directorate within the Defence Ministry. If we take out 5,000 [Palestinians from Gaza] a day, it would take a year. The logistics are complicated, because you need to know who is going to what country."
Trump`s ethnic cleansing plan has been roundly ejected by Arab countries, including Egypt and Jordan - the countries where the US president suggested Palestinians would end up.
In response, Arab leaders put forward their own proposal for the reconstruction of the Palestinian enclave and future governance in the territory.
