Plans to Displace Gazans Must be Fought – Hamas
Plans to force Palestinians out of Gaza must be fought and defeated. Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem said current Israeli security meetings discussing the future Gazans to forcably displacement them represent a highly dangerous development that contradict any talk of peace, stability, or understandings reached by the mediators. He said the ongoing bombardment, destruction of infrastructure, starvation of the population, serve these displacement plans and threatens the rermoval of Palestinians from their land.
Qassem noted that as sponsor of the de-escalation efforts, it must prevent these displacement projects and the Arab League, and Egypt must coordinate Arab action to stop these plans that also pose a direct threat to Arab national security. Last Tuesday, Israel’s new National Security Advisor, Shmuel Ben Ezra, met with security chiefs to discuss such a plan to “encourage voluntary emigration” of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip. Haaretz revealed that leaked information by participants in the meeting, indicated that Ben Ezra called on the security agencies to study a plan and prepare the mechanisms for its implementation.
