The Netanyahu government has not kept its goals secret in Gaza. Prime Minister Netanyahu
and his government have made the removal of Palestinians from Gaza a strategic aim of the
war. Netanyahu said that Israel is “destroying more and more homes, and Gazans have nowhere
to return to. The only inevitable outcome will be the wish of Gazans to emigrate outside of the
Gaza Strip.” 1 Finance Minister Smotrich has said, “Gaza will be totally destroyed” and that
Palestinians there would be “totally despairing, understanding that there is no hope and
nothing to look for in Gaza, and will be looking for relocation to begin a new life in other
places.” 2
Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar has called Gaza a “failed experiment,” backed President Trump’s
plan to relocate Palestinians,3 and said, “What you call Palestine - this is the land of Israel.” 4
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has said, "We must not stop for even a moment. We
need to achieve a full victory, occupy all of Gaza, stop humanitarian aid, and encourage
migration, not partial deals.” 5 The National Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu has said, “the
government is rushing to erase Gaza, and thank God we are erasing this evil. All of Gaza will be
Jewish.” 6
These are not the isolated comments of an out-of-power fringe group. They are statements
from key officials – all members of the Netanyahu government – who are shaping Israel’s
actions in Gaza, the West Bank, and beyond. During our week-long visit to Israel, the West
Bank, the border of Gaza, Jordan, and Egypt, the facts demonstrated overwhelmingly that Israel
is putting these words into action by implementing a plan to ethnically cleanse Gaza of
Palestinians and dealing a death blow to the vision of a future Palestinian state that would
include Gaza and the West Bank. In Gaza, the Netanyahu government is implementing its goal
through the near-total destruction of civilian infrastructure and its use of food as a weapon of
war. These policies are part of a calculated effort to drive Palestinians out of Gaza by making it
impossible for them to live there. Any talk of “voluntary departures” is a cruel hoax. Departure
is not “voluntary” when the conditions needed to support life are extinguished.
