National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir reiterates his claim that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is open to “encouraging emigration” of Palestinians from Gaza.

“This has been expressed in the things I hear from him with my ears,” Ben Gvir tells Channel 12.

The policy of “encouraged migration” has been widely criticized as a euphemism for the forced displacement of Palestinians

On the ongoing hostage talks, Ben Gvir says Netanyahu knows what his red lines are and that they include ending the war and releasing additional “Sinwars.”
