Netanyahu Says Plan to Expel Gaza Population into Egypt is “Hypothetical”

Israel’s Prime Minister has dismissed leaked proposals for expelling the Gaza Strip’s entire population to Egypt’s Sinai peninsula as hypothetical. The Telegraph has more.

Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said the plan was outlined in a concept paper drafted by intelligence officials and had not been discussed by policy makers.

But the document, reported on widely in the Israeli media, has been condemned by Palestinian leaders and risks worsening tensions with neighbouring Egypt, which has long-feared Israel wants to pass off responsibility for Gaza to Cairo.

The intelligence ministry paper dated six days after Hamas’s October 7th attack killed more than 1,400 people in southern Israel looked at three alternatives “to effect a significant change in the civilian reality in the Gaza Strip in light of Hamas’s crimes”.

It proposed moving the enclave’s population of more than 2.2 million people to tent cities in northern Sinai, then later building permanent cities and an undefined humanitarian corridor.

A security zone would be established inside Israel to block the displaced Palestinians from entering, it envisaged.

The report did not say what would become of Gaza once its population had been cleared out, but indicated that the evicted residents could ultimately settle elsewhere. Countries including Turkey, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates could give the refugees money or resettle them, the document suggested.

The paper admitted the proposal “is liable to be complicated in terms of international legitimacy”.

“In our assessment, fighting after the population is evacuated would lead to fewer civilian casualties compared to what could be expected if the population were to remain,” it said.

Mr. Netanyahu’s office called it a “concept paper, the likes of which are prepared at all levels of the Government and its security agencies”.

“The issue of the ‘day after’ has not been discussed in any official forum in Israel, which is focused at this time on destroying the governing and military capabilities of Hamas,” it said.

Israel has told civilians in the north of the Strip, including residents of Gaza City, to move to the south of the enclave, saying it will be safer there as the military attacks Hamas following its cross-border assault.

But many who live there fear Israel’s military incursion into Gaza, which Israel says is aimed at wiping out the terrorist group, is a pretext to clear all or part of the territory of Palestinians.

They harbour concerns of a repeat of the uprooting of hundreds of thousands who fled or were forced from their homes during the fighting surrounding Israel’s creation in 1948.

So this is the plan – in typical globalist fashion telling us in advance.

It looks like the US of A are determined to ignite a massive Middle East war. Will this lead to WWIII and worse?

It was obvious from the beginning that the Israeli government at the very least allowed the incursions and murders to happen but more likely was involved in planning them using agents in place in Hamas.

The intention was to justify a “Final Solution” to the Palestinian problem. We’ve probably already agreed to take at least a couple of hundred thousand, which will help the project of destroying our country.

Scotland will take them, don’t worry. Yousaf and the Labour party dude over there are both saying the country’s too white for their liking. Can you imagine if Sunak said this though??

Whoops. As a few of us said at the start – Israel prompted the attacks. Now it appears they may have actually been complicit in the operation.

Either that, or just being too optimistic about their capability to securely stage events like the one in question, so close to the border across which Hamas was based.

Exactly what I was thinking, hux. Nothing’s ever just “leaked” by accident is it? Plus, I’m pretty sure the dreaded vax pass was called “hypothetical” ( other examples are available ) until it became a reality.
Not to worry though. The millions of surrounding Muslims that make up the ‘ummah’ and have voiced their solidarity with their cause will rush to the poor Palestinians’ aid I’ve no doubt. Any day now……..🤥 😶

They are adherents of a vile totalitarian ideology which has been implacably opposed to our civilisation for 1,400 years.

They regard a slave-owning, mass-murdering paedophile as the Perfect Man.

It’s only the extremists I have a problem with because they’re a danger to us all. Basically, in much the same way that Mordor churns out Orcs, Gaza is a breeding ground for Jihadis. Both examples being emotionless, blood-thirsty, hate-fueled killing machines. Orcs stand out from the civilians at least, whereas jihadis tend to blend in, unless they’re wearing their ever-present machine gun accessories or a suicide vest, that is. Total annihilation of both species is what’s required. The latter embrace death though, so there is that.

You’re right, I’ve never read them. Too hard-core for me, I read The Hobbit as a kid as it was way less intimidating. I have, like most people on planet 🌏, seen the movies though. But rather than deliberately misconstrue my post, because you’d rather take the opportunity to have a good old shit-stir, why not read it with your eyes open this time? If you did you’d see nowhere do I mention I’ve read TLOTR or the word “Palestinians”. It’s very obvious I’m referring to the actual jihadi terrorists.
But don’t let facts get in the way of you having a strop whatever you do. 👶🤦‍♀️

Obviously it’s the extremists that represent a direct threat to Western civilization and values such as equality and freedom of thought/speech. However there’s also a major problem with people who may be considered slightly more moderate but refuse to condemn extremists and sometimes celebrate acts of extreme violence because they share the same faith. In doing this they offer support for the extremists and let them find refuge within their communities. By refusing to let anyone criticise any aspect of Islam moderates make it harder to expose the motivation of extremists and alert people to the danger they pose.

For as long as the US of A has a foot firmly planted on the so-called German government, another world-wide coalition war to eliminate an independent German state is highly unlikely and there’s nothing else all of the involved countries could ever agree to.

9/11 was, at the very least, allowed to happen by factions of the Zionist US security services so that the US could kill many people with brown faces and rape their countries of natural resources whilst their military industrial complex made lots of money from the death and destruction.
Perhaps the Hamas attacks were also allowed to happen by the same Zionist factions within Israel so they could commit their “final solution” against the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and all Palestinians?
2 billion Muslims may have a say in the matter.

It was also used to turn the vast US security state on to its own citizens by force of law (NDAA Patriot Act) and create more security services like the the TSA and DHS while funnelling billions of dark money into the CIA,NSA etc.

It also served to destroy the records of the bossing half trillion in the US military budget at the Pentagon exactly where the other “plane” hit.

You know all this I’m sure.

It’s hypothetical only because if things carry on the way they are there will be no citizens of Gaza left to expel – unless he means the ones buried under the rubble.

No matter though, Uncle Sam are well practised in this sort of thing, there will be no condemnation from the nice gentle liberal caring West.

Wake up to the genocide which is happening before your very eyes.

The Israelis can’t kill too many or even the jabbed thickos might notice what is going on.

I can’t even imagine any stable endpoint given the trajectory and the possible outcomes. The point is that this will not be a geographically contained struggle. The sheer impossiblity of the situation can only lead to endless conflict contagion. In that sense I think we do live in unprecedented times. Even in the dark days of the 1930s in America and then world war there was a sense of a possible bright future, a better world a comin as Woody Guthrie said. There is no easy way for the Anglo-Americans to relinquish power or even accept multipolarity and so we are in deep flux. But to be fair it would be worse if we were just knee deep in consumerism and the air conditioned nightmare. We can’t complain that we live in boring times.

Pre Gaza there was a pretty good standard of chat on this forum.
Now, we’re subjected to lack of regional insight and trolling from Hamas sympathisers.
On this subject, for those prepared to do the homework, nobody wants the ‘Palestinians’. They didn’t exist until Arafat created them as a political tool to delegitimise Israel.
Egypt, which has benefitted from years of security with Israel doesn’t want hundreds of thousands of disaffacted people with Islamist terrorists in their midst who would immediately ally with Egyptians Islamists to overthrow the Sissi administration.
Check and you’ll find no Arab wants them, for the same reason.
The ‘Palestinians’ were and remain an artificial creation for one purpose only.

The Report from the British Government to the League of Nations 1938 stated Palestine was a geographical region, not a country. The region encompassed the area today held by NE Egypt, south Lebanon, Jordan and the Biblical heartland of Israel, Judea and Samaria.
Palestine never had a capital city, currency, indigenous people, a border. It is not, nor ever will be a sovereign state.
The Palestinian Authority charter is more or less the same as that of Hamas. The PA, this month, will pay the families of Hamas terrorists $3 Million in pensions. Those who committed greater terror receive higher payments.
The truth hurts,,doesn’t it?

Gaza used to be part of Egypt then Egypt said it didn’t want Palestinians destabilising their country and that they didn’t want it back hence why Hamas have to build tunnels to Egypt to get around the border controls.

When you really are alone with yourself and your breathing just ask how long can I actually carry on. You don’t have to sign up to anything just an honest appraisal of the status quo. If you can develop that then you will develop the humility to speak to other people on a human level. It isn’t like we will have the luxury of just sitting about and having a few beers for a lot longer. You might criticise the ignorant but if you behave as a spectator then surely that is below ignorance because you know but choose to just watch anyway.

“Worth reading in full.” How very true. The leak is plainly genuine, and all Netanyahu says is that nothing has been decided yet. What will he decide? Wikipedia links to an English translation.  The paper outlines three options. A: to install the Palestinian Authority as the administration of Gaza. B: to rule Gaza through local proxies. C: to expel the population with no hope of ever returning. As it says, probably rightly, the problem with the first two is that they won’t work. An appendix outlines what contribution various other countries could make to option C. One of them is “absorption and settlement”, expected of “Countries in Europe and especially the Mediterranean – Greece/Spain…Morocco, Libya, Tunisia”. Also Canada, “within the framework of the permissive immigration policy.” The help of “large advertising agencies” will also be needed. They will “promote this plan in the Western world… even at the price of a tone that rebukes or even harms Israel, intended for populations that won’t be receptive to any other message.” Worth reading in full. The Daily Sceptic has not in the past been a friend of mass migration, and is rightly concerned about a fifth column of Islamist immigrants dismaying the… Read more »
