Ben-Gvir's Plan to Expel Gaza's Population Over Seven Years

other · 2026-09-07

Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir is campaigning for the complete expulsion of Gaza's Palestinian population over a seven-year period. The plan, dubbed "Rückzug 710" (Retreat 710), references the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023. In the first year, Israel would "enable" 250,000 people to leave, with the goal of removing nearly all Palestinians from Gaza by 2033. Ben-Gvir warns against "peace illusions" and advocates for continued aggressive policies. He presents the plan through internet and television appearances, aiming to solidify support for his party, "Jewish Power" (Otzma Yehudit). The proposal has raised international concerns about potential ethnic cleansing and regional destabilization.
