National Security Adviser Shmuel Ben Ezra held an urgent meeting to advance voluntary emigration from Gaza, seeking countries willing to accept Gazans. Mossad representatives reportedly told attendees no state has yet agreed to take part.
National Security Adviser Shmuel Ben Ezra convened an urgent meeting Wednesday evening to advance efforts aimed at encouraging voluntary emigration from Gaza, according to a report. The discussion focused on identifying countries willing to accept Gazans interested in leaving the Strip. However, Mossad representatives at the meeting acknowledged that no countries have yet agreed to take part in the initiative, and that there has been no significant breakthrough on the issue. The meeting comes as the government continues exploring options for facilitating voluntary relocation, following statements by Minister Gila Gamliel who recently cited a survey indicating 80% of Gaza residents expressed a desire to emigrate. The initiative has been part of a broader policy debate within the coalition, with some ministers pushing for emigration as a solution to the humanitarian and security situation in the Strip.
