Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed at a meeting of the Likud faction on Monday that he is working to bring about the voluntary emigration of Gazans to other countries. "Our problem is countries that are willing to absorb and we are working on it," Netanyahu said.
The Prime Minister responded to MK Shani Danon, who noted at the meeting that "the world is already discussing the possibilities of voluntary immigration. Canada's immigration minister made the remarks publicly, as did Nikki Haley. We must establish a team of the State of Israel to deal with this issue, and to make sure that those who want to leave Gaza for a third country can do so. This needs to be regulated. This is strategically important for the day after the war."
