Israeli minister calls plan to forcibly expel Palestinians from Gaza 'deportation' plan

For the first time, an Israeli minister has admitted that Israel’s campaign to remove Palestinians from Gaza will rely on force rather than so-called "voluntary migration."

Far-right Likud Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi called the scheme a “deportation plan” in an online post, attacking attorney general Gali Baharav-Miara for allegedly demanding a legal review of the initiative.

This contradicts previous claims by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Jewish Power leader and former government minister Itamar Ben Gvir, who have tried to present what critics condemn as "ethnic cleansing" as "voluntary migration."
