Likud MK Nissim Vaturi calls for the expulsion of all Palestinians from Gaza and from the West Bank during an ultranationalist rally in Jerusalem.
“We want to remove all the Arabs from Gaza. They should not be in Judea and Samaria either,” says Vaturi.
“Transfer is not an illegitimate word. First of all, we need to transfer the Arabs of Gaza and also begin in Judea and Samaria, begin in Area C,” continues the MK.
Israel has full security and civilian control of Area C of the West Bank, which comprises some 60 percent of the territory and includes all the Israeli settlements, but is also home to some 180,000 – 300,000 Palestinians, according to the left-wing B’Tselem organization.
“We need to wake up. We need to expel the Arabs from here. We need to expel everyone now. Send them to countries who want them so badly. We should not be afraid because God is with us,” concludes Vaturi.
