Shas Party Chairman MK Aryeh Deri attacked Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir in an interview with Kol Hai radio on Thursday evening: "Anyone who talks about moving the population to another place and restoring Jewish settlement is causing tremendous damage to Judea and Samaria is unnecessarily stirring up the entire Palestinian issue. We saw today in The Hague how they take advantage of every statement. Wise men, be careful with your words."
The two ministers of Religious Zionism signed a variety of statements calling for the transfer of the Gaza population from the Gaza Strip. Minister Smotrich, for example, said just a week ago: "The time has come to try something different, and that is to allow, through the efforts of the entire international community, a humanitarian solution for the residents of the Gaza Strip in other countries around the world."

Minister Ben-Gvir has also spoken a lot since the beginning of the war about the occupation of Gaza: I think that we must respond to the world clearly and clearly, that the occupation of the Gaza Strip should be here," he said. "I see something very clear: every time our enemy lost territory, it lost the war. That's how it was in '48 and that's how it was in '67. When we took territory from them, it was their Nakba."
