GAZA (Dispatches) – Hamas has strongly condemned the Zionist regime’s “Return to Gaza” conference, at which the regime’s minister Itamar Ben-Gvir called for the expulsion of Palestinians.
Israel’s far-right national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir called for the “voluntary migration” of Palestinians at a “Return to Gaza” conference, where 21 new illegal Israeli settlements were also outlined.
Hamas strongly opposed the conference, asserting that it contradicts interim rulings from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) concerning the war on Gaza.
The Palestinian resistance movement accused the occupying regime of disregarding international law and United Nations resolutions by openly advocating for the “voluntary migration” of Palestinians.
In a statement, Hamas urged the international community and the UN to take a firm stance against the conference, condemning it unequivocally as a “fascist conference based on the idea of ethnic cleansing.”
The call for “voluntary migration” has garnered charges of ethnic cleansing and forced displacement, and a rare rebuke from US officials. But there are no signs of the calls losing steam within the regime.
Last month, Zionist prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu told one lawmaker who’d called for “voluntary immigration” from Gaza that he was working to facilitate that movement.
“Our problem is (finding) countries that are willing to absorb Gazans, and we are working on it,” Netanyahu said.
The Zionist regime’s military action has already forcibly displaced the vast majority of the population within Gaza.
