Ben Gvir Says He’ll Return To Government If PM Implements Trump’s Gaza Transfer Plan
‘The ball is now in the hands of the prime minister,’ Otzma Yehudit leader says. ‘Impossible to carry out a transfer without committing war crimes,’ warns Ra’am chief Mansour Abbas
Former national security minister Itamar Ben Gvir announced on Wednesday that the odds of his far-right Otzma Yehudit party rejoining Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition went up significantly in the wake of US President Donald Trump’s call to resettle the Palestinians of Gaza…
Hosting Netanyahu at the White House on Tuesday, Trump reiterated his proposal, roundly rejected by Arab nations, to permanently relocate the Palestinians living in the decimated coastal enclave…
In a joint press conference with Netanyahu after their meeting, Trump again insisted the Palestinians “have no alternative” but to leave the “big pile of rubble” that is Gaza after over 15 months of Israeli bombardment – and declared his desire for the United States to “take over” and “own” the Gaza Strip.
“The ball is now in the hands of the prime minister,” Ben Gvir said in response to Trump’s proposal. “As soon as we start and there is an intention to implement it – I’m back.”
He added, “I don’t want to expand on this talk, there are already plans.”
The far-right leader, who has long advocated for what he calls “voluntary migration” from the Gaza Strip paired with renewed Israeli settlement building there, said that it is not the time for “petty politics.”
“We have a huge opportunity and we must not miss it. Even before October 7, I encouraged emigration and they mocked me… It is time to implement and promote it,” he said, without responding directly to Trump’s statement that he didn’t support Israel reestablishing settlements in Gaza.
“There were those who worked on it in Israel long before and earned nicknames like ‘messianic and delusional,’ so now is the time to move on to implementation.”
Ben Gvir’s party left the coalition last month after Israel agreed to a ceasefire agreement with Hamas in the Gaza Strip. All three of his party’s ministries were entrusted on a temporary basis to Tourism Minister Haim Katz of Likud, in what was widely believed to be a signal to Ben Gvir that the portfolios are waiting for him, should he wish to return to the coalition.
