Israeli press reports have revealed that Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir is preparing an election plan dubbed "Disengagement 710." The plan aims to displace approximately 1.86 million Palestinians from the Gaza Strip over a seven-year period under the guise of "voluntary migration."
The plan's key features and implications are summarized below:
Timeline and Objective:
The plan targets the displacement of 250,000 Palestinians in its first year, rising to 1.11 million within three years, and culminating in the displacement of the majority of the Strip's population (1.86 million) by the seventh year.
Mechanisms and Funding:
It entails providing incentives—such as travel documents, initial housing, financial support, and vocational training—for the displaced. Initial Israeli funding is set at $3.1 billion, potentially reaching a total of $15.6 billion contingent upon international partnership.
Political Conditions:
Ben-Gvir intends to leverage the plan as an electoral bargaining chip, making the establishment of a "Ministry of Voluntary Migration" and the adoption of the plan fundamental conditions for his party (Otzma Yehudit/Jewish Power) to join any future government coalition.
Obstacles and Rejection:
The plan faces a major hurdle: the refusal of other nations to accept large numbers of Palestinians—despite attempts to engage with several African countries—alongside categorical Arab and regional opposition to displacement schemes. Field Escalation:
These proposals coincide with statements by Defense Minister Israel Katz affirming Israel's readiness to evacuate the population as soon as Washington identifies a destination, while Benjamin Netanyahu announced the continuation of military control over 60% of Gaza and stated there is no intention to withdraw.
