Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in a podcast interview with Gadi Taub on 'Shomer Hasaf' (The Gatekeeper), said that North Korea and the Gaza Strip are the only two places in the world where people cannot leave. He stated that other countries are refusing to accept Gazan evacuees because doing so would assist Israel, and questioned why Gazan residents are denied the basic right of freedom of movement while receiving aid, according to Abu Ali Express.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in a podcast interview with Gadi Taub on 'Shomer Hasaf' (The Gatekeeper), framed the issue of 'voluntary emigration' from Gaza as a question of fundamental freedom. He asserted that North Korea and the Gaza Strip are the only places in the world where people cannot leave, and that other countries are refusing to accept Gazan evacuees because doing so would be viewed as assisting Israel. Netanyahu questioned why Gazan residents, who receive international aid, are denied the same basic right of freedom of movement enjoyed by billions globally. The remarks, reported by Abu Ali Express, build on the Prime Minister's earlier statements on the same theme, as The Zioneer reported earlier this evening. The interview expands on the concept of voluntary emigration, which has been a subject of debate in Israeli policy circles.
