Extreme right-wing Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has expressed praise for a proposal by US President Donald Trump for Gaza Strip Palestinians to be resettled in Arab countries.
"After 76 years in which the majority of the population of Gaza was detained under hard conditions to maintain the aim of destroying Israel, the idea of helping them by finding other places where they could start a new and better life is outstanding,"
For years, politicians had put forward impracticable proposals, such as establishing a Palestinian state that would jeopardize Israel's existence and security, Smotrich posted.
Only "unconventional thinking" on new approaches could bring peace and security, he said, pledging to work with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to implement Trump's plan.
Smotrich has in the past backed Israeli resettlement of the Gaza Strip. Trump's predecessor, Joe Biden, rejected this. A year ago, Smotrich said that, if Israeli acted correctly, Palestinians would emigr
