During his recent Washington visit, the Israeli spy chief reportedly asked American officials to extend assistance to Mossad in ethnically cleansing the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
David Barnea pushed US officials during the visit to provide incentives to Libya, Indonesia, and Ethiopia to accept hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians as refugees, Axios reported on Saturday.
Citing sources familiar with the matter, the American news website said Barnea had held a meeting last week with White House envoy Steve Witkoff.
“Barnea told Witkoff that Ethiopia, Indonesia, and Libya had expressed openness to receiving large numbers of Palestinians from Gaza,” two unnamed sources said.
“Barnea suggested that the US offer incentives to those countries and help Israel convince them,” Axios reported.
Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that his cabinet’s goal of expelling much or all of Gaza’s population will be “voluntary” for Palestinians.
Legal experts from across the globe have disputed Netanyahu’s claim, saying such a move would constitute ethnic cleansing and a clear war crime.
Israel working with US to displace Palestinians from Gaza, says Netanyahu
The US had reportedly asked Netanyahu to find the countries that would agree to receive large numbers of Palestinians displaced from the Gaza Strip.
Axios wrote that to plan to relocate the Gazans in other countries has sparked concerns in “Egypt and many Western countries that Israel is preparing for the mass displacement of Palestinians out of Gaza, something Netanyahu’s ultranationalist coalition partners and many inside his own party have been pushing for years.”
Soon after assuming office, US President Donald Trump proposed the expulsion of the Palestinians from Gaza to allow the Israelis to annex and develop it as the “Riviera of the Middle East.”
In the meantime, Gaza’s over 2.3 million population have been internally displaced by the Israeli regime forces repeatedly.
Since the Israeli regime launched its genocidal war on Gaza in October 2023, the Israeli regime has leveled much of the strip, including homes, hospitals, mosques, and schools, to make Gaza uninhabitable for Palestinians and force them to leave.
