Israel is planning a pilot project to deport 100 Gazans to Indonesia under the pretext of working there, Channel 12 reported. This comes after its plan to deport Gaza residents has so far failed, as Gaza residents rejected it and no country agreed to forcibly accept displaced Gazans.
Israel describes the displacement plan as "voluntary migration," and hopes that the pressures of the war of extermination and starvation will force Gazans to agree to the "migration." The Israeli army claimed to have conducted a "survey" that indicated that a quarter of the Strip's population agrees to the "migration."
Channel 12 reported that the "initial experiment" will soon be implemented, according to a plan that will be implemented by the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), General Ghassan Galian. The plan "aims to encourage thousands of Gazans to voluntarily immigrate to Indonesia to work in the construction sector, if the initial experiment proves successful," the report said.
Although international law allows Palestinians to return to the Gaza Strip after leaving to work abroad, the Israeli plan calls for "encouraging immigration and long-term residence in Indonesia, a matter that is up to the Indonesian government."
It should be noted that there are no diplomatic relations between Israel and Indonesia, "therefore, a communication channel should have been established between the two countries." If this plan succeeds, the "Immigration Directorate" established by Defense Minister Yisrael Katz will be responsible for implementing the plan and "assisting in finding jobs."
According to the Israeli channel, since the beginning of the war, 35,000 Palestinians have left the Gaza Strip, including 1,000 since the beginning of this month until last Sunday. It is expected that 600 Palestinians will leave this week. All of them are sick and wounded people in need of medical treatment, their family members, and citizens holding foreign nationalities. They are gathered at the Kerem Shalom crossing, where they are subject to inspection by the Shin Bet. They are then transferred to the Rafah crossing, the Allenby crossing, or Ramon Airport near Eilat, and are informed that their return to the Gaza Strip is not certain.
