– Netanyahu Working To Find Countries To ‘Absorb’ Palestinians Who Want To Flee Gaza:
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told members of his political party on Monday that he’s working to identify countries that are are willing to “absorb” Palestinians who want to leave the territory.
Netanyahu’s remarks in front of a group of Likud Party members came in response to a statement from Knesset legislator Shani Danon, who said:
“The world is already discussing the possibilities of voluntary immigration. The Canadian immigration minister said the things publicly and so did Nikki Haley. We must establish a team of the State of Israel to deal with this issue, and make sure that those who want to leave Gaza to a third country can do so. It needs to be settled. It has strategic importance for the day after the war.”
“Our problem is countries that are ready to absorb and we are working on it,” replied Netanyahu. The daily national newspaper Israel Hayom was first to report the exchange. Hayom is a conservative paper owned by the family of the late billionaire pro-Israel Republican Party benefactor Sheldon Adelson.
