Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir responds to U.S. criticism, defending his stance on relocating Gazans for the safety of Israeli residents and IDF soldiers.
“The United States is our best friend, but first of all we will do what is best for the State of Israel: the migration of hundreds of thousands from Gaza will allow the (Israeli) residents of the envelope to return home and live in security and will protect the IDF (Israeli) soldiers,” the extreme-right minister posted on X late Tuesday
The U.S. State Department labels the proposal as “inflammatory and irresponsible” and asserts that Gaza remains Palestinian land.
The situation is complex amid ongoing conflict, displacing a significant number of Gaza’s population.
