 The Zionist regime's army's attacks on the Gaza Strip have been met with strong reactions from the peoples of the world and the region, but so far international organizations, including the United Nations, have failed to stop these attacks. Itamar Ben-Gvir, the Zionist regime's Minister of Internal Security, speaking about the regime's all-out attacks on the Gaza Strip, said this is an opportunity to focus on the Palestinian resettlement project and encouraging Gazans to immigrate to other countries. Bezalel Smotrich, the Zionist regime's finance minister, also said: "Israel should encourage residents of the Gaza Strip to emigrate and leave the strip." Matthew Miller, a spokesman for the US State Department, in a statement rejecting statements by Israeli ministers about the resettlement of Palestinians outside the Gaza Strip, said: “Israel's statements about the resettlement of Palestinians outside the Gaza Strip are provocative and irresponsible; Israel, including the Prime Minister of this regime, has repeatedly and constantly emphasized that such statements do not reflect their policies." Meanwhile, in response to a statement by a Foreign Ministry spokesman, Ben-Gvir said: “The migration of hundreds of thousands of people from the Gaza Strip allows the new residents (Zionist settlers) of the area to return home and live in safety.” Josep Borrell, the EU foreign policy spokesman, posted on the social network X and wrote: "The provocative and irresponsible statements of Israeli ministers regarding the forced evacuation of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip are strongly condemned." Josep Borrell Borrell warned Zionist authorities to be careful in their statements, saying the forced transfers were a flagrant violation of international human rights law. On Thursday, the British Foreign Office, in response to statements by two Israeli ministers about the resettlement of Palestinian people from the Gaza Strip, said that any proposal in this regard was rejected and that Gaza would in the future become part of the Palestinian state. The statement said: “Gaza is part of the Palestinian state and the UK firmly rejects any proposal to resettle Palestinians outside the region.” UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk also responded to statements by far-right Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's cabinet ministers about forced migration of Gazans, saying he was "very concerned" to hear the comments from two Israeli cabinet ministers. Volker Türk He stated that 85% of the residents of the Gaza Strip were forced to leave their homes due to the war and have the right to return to their homes. Condemning the statements of the two Zionist regime ministers, the French Foreign Ministry asked the regime to refrain from such "provocative statements that are irresponsible and inflame tensions." The French Foreign Ministry also warned that “forced population transfers” are a gross violation of international law. The Spanish government also said that recent statements by members of the Israeli government regarding the relocation of Gazans were contrary to international law. A German Foreign Ministry spokesman also said: “The statements by two Israeli cabinet ministers regarding the forced migration of residents of the Gaza Strip are irrational and rejected.” Since October 7, 2023, with the full support of Western countries, especially the United States and Britain, the Zionist regime began massacres in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank against the defenseless and oppressed people of Palestine. On October 7, 2023, Palestinian resistance groups launched Operation Al-Aqsa Storm from the Gaza Strip against Israeli regime positions, and finally, after 45 days of fighting (November 24, 2023), a four-day temporary ceasefire or "humanitarian pause" was established for exchange prisoners between Hamas and the Israeli regime. This pause in the war lasted seven days, and on Friday morning (December 1, 2023) the temporary ceasefire ended and the Israeli regime resumed attacks on the Gaza Strip in order to avenge the Al-Aqsa Storm, redress its defeat and stop resistance operations. The Zionist regime has closed all checkpoints in the Gaza Strip and continues to bomb the area. The Zionist regime has killed more than 22,600 Gazans and injured more than 57,910 since the Zionist regime's attacks on the Gaza Strip began, 70% of whom were women and children.
