Limor Son Har-Melech, a member of the Israeli Knesset and the hardline Jewish Power party, has said there are secret Israeli plans to establish settlements in the Gaza Strip, The New Arab reported on Wednesday.
Har-Melech told the Israeli Knesset’s TV channel that there was “a vision for the day after (the war on Gaza), and the only optimistic vision is the renewal of the settlement of Gaza. Of course this will happen in stages, I think this will happen whether we like it or not.”
She said that she was “speaking about secret matters because we can see the large opposition (from external parties).” She added that starting in the next session of the Israeli Knesset, “you will see practical steps, including plans, and work in government offices and security services. There is intensive work behind the scenes on this.”
Other members of the Israeli Knesset and ministers in the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have not been shy about their desire to re-establish settlements in Gaza. In January, 12 ministers and 15 MKs attended a conference on the settlement of Gaza.
Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel’s minister of national security and the leader of the Jewish Power party, spoke at the conference and called for Netanyahu to take steps to allow for settlements. “If we don’t want another October 7, we need to go back home and control [Gaza]. We need to find a legal way to voluntarily emigrate [Palestinians] and impose death sentences on terrorists,” he said. “I turn to you, PM Netanyahu: this is time for brave decisions.”
Har-Melech spoke at a similar conference back in November 2023 and called for Israel to conquer the entire Gaza Strip. “There is no escape from returning and fully controlling the Gaza Strip, full control that will include extensive and flourishing settlement in the entire strip,” she said.
In October 2023, a document prepared by Israel’s Intelligence Ministry that was leaked to the media said the best post-war scenario for Israel would be the expulsion of all 2.3 million Palestinians living in Gaza.
“Secret” means actively selling Gaza real estate in the US?
I guess this is why Kushner wants them in the Israeli desert. They probably can’t build tunnels there, and they wouldn’t wish to remain. And Israel will settle Gaza as it destroys the tunnels. Israel might just keep the tunnels. They’re probably valuable in a way.
Maybe Israel will just build an actual prison for Palestinians and keep men and women separated. Maybe it’ll be open to the public like a zoo.

‘Cashing in on Genocide’: Israeli Firm Pitches Beachfront Real Estate in Leveled Gaza
“A house on the beach is not a dream,” reads an advertisement from a company notorious for building in the occupied West Bank.
The ad depicts an artist’s rendering of luxury homes superimposed over an actual photograph of a Gaza neighborhood destroyed by Israeli attacks—which have killed nearly 20,000 people while displacing over 85% of the embattled strip’s 2.3 million people since early October.

That would help ameliorate Israel’s demographic problems.
Do you mean like our prisons on the Southern border?
Nope, because those people are released. I mean something between Guantanamo and a zoo.
Gaza was already the largest open air prison . Concentration camp .
It shows the myth of the great supposed wisdom that Ivy league education provides.
Aww, isn’t that cute. You’re an anti-intellectual reactionary as well as a filthy Zionist pig.
Don’t worry Jake, there’s no chance the ivies would admit the likes of you.
He specifically said that “they” must be moved out, then the place “cleaned up”, so that the waterfront can be developed for the ultra rich (by implication).
Well, they need to be compensated. I grew up hearing how Amerindians were tricked or had their land blatantly stolen, though more recently they can reap benefits like casinos.
And I hear about slavery etc, but those things continue. They aren’t history; it’s just not my people doing it currently. I’m not saying here that Palestinians are slaves; that takes place elsewhere. But they’re having their lands stolen.
After Oct 7,who would move to Gaza?
It’s hard for you to type a sentence without Oct 7th in it. The Rudy Guiliani *9/11* syndrome.
Well,Oct 7 did happen,it has changed the Middle East,and you have yet to reveal your views on what a proper response would have been.
I’ve revealed my views ad nauseum. NOT GENOCIDE.
It could have ended on 8Oct. Israel could have sealed the wall again, avoided the wanton killing of thousands of innocents.
After Israel’s genocidal aggression in Gaza, who would move to Israel, other than murmurous psychopaths?
Jews who are for the second Nakbha, Christian Nationalists frothing for the Second Coming, supposedly triggered by war against Israel. Both emersed in mythological hocus pocus that has no commons sense.
The genocide was preplanned. Israel could have sealed the concentration camp walls again on 8Oct. There was no need to resort to killing thousands of innocents. The dangerous messianic fervor in the right wings leadership of Israel will resort to more cruelty. At this point, Israel will lash out at any person, any country (U.S.S. Liberty, 1967) that dares to prevent their mission: “from the ocean to the river”. jake, if you care to listen to it, on KPFK today, Ralph Nader (Ralph Nader hour) interviews Professor Jeffrey Sachs concerning Israel and the Palestinians. As history lesson, to be sure, but also a warning. Dial in. Listen.
I am a little slow somtimes. It must be an age thing. There is a terrible similarity between Hitlers racist theorys for the Master Race and the extermination of the Jews,Poles and Gypsys as there is for the crimes of Israel backed by the generousity of the US enabling Israel to continue this campaign. I would expect poor folk and minorities to be next in the US.
Actually,populations of poor and nonwhite peoples are growing.
Not in Gaza or the concentration camps in Texas.
… and you mustn’t omit to extract the teeth with gold fillings.
How many Palestinians have gold fillings and crowns? Only the leaders, I’m sure.
The pt was to conflate Zionism and Nazism, scavanging the c orps of Palestine.
Unlike the Israelis who have government provided healthcare, while the US pours billions into that murderous settler colonialist abomination.
What’s wrong with the healthcare in the U.
S.? /s
It’s not much of a secret, if it’s on Antiwar.com
]. We need to find a legal way to voluntarily emigrate [Palestinians] and impose death sentences on terrorists,
WAs this from 1933 and a BIT NORTH?
That means hangings for the leaders of the U.S. A., U.K., Israel? The true terrorists. I will man the popcorn machine.
They got to depopulate Gaza first. I think they will use a highly virulent virus that is waterborne or spreads by direct human contact, but does not spread through the air. They can’t have it spread outside of Gaza, can they?
Children, especially children, in emaciated condition, are vulnerable to disease, infection, that normally would not be a burden on their immune system. Many will die. Perhaps thousands. It makes me sick that the supposed progressive representative, Fetterman, is gung ho for the genocide of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands of children, because of a book that supposedly tells a people that a land belongs to them, therefore, others have to die. Even children in incubators. Sick, sick, sick.
Not just Gaza.

Gotta laugh that CNN is running a headline “Teen’s death ignites West Bank violence” after how many hundreds of Palestinians have been shot, beaten and tormented for decades by religious lunatics from Brooklyn and Queens who think “God” gave them the right to move into your house.
