Ben-Gvir seeks plan for Trump to instigate Palestinian Migration from Gaza

( Middle East Monitor ) – Israel intends to present a plan to US President-elect Donald Trump aimed at encouraging migration and settlement in Gaza, far-right Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, announced on Wednesday.

In an interview with the Israeli newspaper Maariv, Ben-Gvir confirmed that the plan includes two main elements, claiming that it is an ethical and logical proposal that benefits both Palestinians and Israelis.

The Hebrew newspaper noted that Ben-Gvir’s remarks came in response to Trump’s statement about his intention to broker a ceasefire in Gaza and secure the release of prisoners before his inauguration on 20 January.

In related news, US media reported yesterday that Qatar has resumed its role as a key mediator in Gaza. It is anticipated that Hamas’ negotiating team will return to Doha soon.

Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed Bin Abdulrahman Bin Jassim Al Thani stated on Wednesday that Hamas’ office in Doha was established for negotiations at the request of the US and Israel. He added that this office has facilitated ceasefire agreements since 2014.
