Hebrew media revealed that Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir called in recent days to start a "pilot project" to encourage the migration of hundreds of thousands of residents of the Gaza Strip.

Channel 13 said on Tuesday evening that Ben Gvir’s call came during a discussion of the Mini-Ministerial Council for Security and Political Affairs after the International Court of Justice’s decision last Friday regarding a “genocide” lawsuit filed by South Africa against Israel on December 29.

While the channel did not specify the day of the meeting, it quoted Ben Gvir as saying: “We need to promote a pilot project to encourage the migration of hundreds of thousands of Gazans.”

Ben Gvir claimed that "there are Gazans who will sell a kidney to get out of Gaza, and this matter must be used," he said.

The International Court of Justice, the highest judicial body in the United Nations, criticized the statements of senior Israeli officials regarding the war on the Gaza Strip.

On January 26, the International Court of Justice announced its rejection of Israel's demands to drop South Africa's lawsuit, and ordered it to take measures to "prevent acts of genocide against Palestinians" and improve the humanitarian conditions in Gaza, but it did not order a ceasefire.

Ministers from parties in the Israeli government coalition participated, on the evening of January 28, in a conference in West Jerusalem called by the extreme right-wing “Jewish Power” party, promoting the restoration of control over the Gaza Strip, settlement there, and encouraging its residents to immigrate, in light of controversy and opposition in Israeli political circles.

In recent weeks, the United States of America has repeatedly announced its rejection of Israel's reoccupation of the Gaza Strip, establishing settlements there, or displacing its residents.

In the June 1967 war, Israel occupied the Gaza Strip, then withdrew from it and dismantled its settlements there in 2005.

The United Nations considers settlement activity in the occupied territories “illegal,” and calls on Israel to stop it to no avail, warning that it undermines the chances of resolving the conflict in accordance with the principle of a Palestinian-Israeli two-state solution.
