Israeli
Knesset’s deputy speaker Moshe Feiglin has called for the “annihilation” of the
Palestinian territory of the Gaza Strip.
Feiglin, who is also a member of
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ruling Likud Party, wrote about the
plans in a post on his Facebook page at the weekend, the British Daily Mail
reported on Monday.
The Israeli official also called for
“the conquest of the entire Gaza Strip.” He spoke of plans for the destruction
of Gaza, which would include expelling residents and shipping them across the
world.
Feiglin also wrote about his plans
in a letter addressed to Netanyahu, in which he said he wanted the measures to
be enforced as soon as possible.
In the letter, Feiglin said he
wanted Israeli military forces to find areas on the Sinai border to set up
“tent encampments… until relevant emigration destinations are determined.”
Furthermore, he wants Gaza’s electricity and water supplies to be disconnected
before shelling the besieged area “with maximum fire power.”
The Israeli forces would then
“exterminate” resistance centers and Israeli law would be extended to cover the
entire Gaza Strip and “the city of Gaza and its suburbs will be rebuilt as true
Israeli touristic and commercial cities.”
The Israeli military launched its recent
offensive against the Gaza Strip on July 8. At least 1,867 Palestinians,
including around 430 children, have so far been killed and over 9,500 others
injured during the onslaught. Tel Aviv says 64 Israelis have been killed in the
war, while Hamas puts the number at more than 150.
