ACCORDING TO HONEST REPORTING1 Last year, a reported 35,000 Palestinians emigrated from Gaza. Take your pick of Times of Israel, Jerusalem Post, Haaretz, Israel HaYom and Ynet coverage.2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Surely “The Squad” will call this “ethnic cleansing”; however, Israel is not removing anyone from Gaza; it merely is facilitating the exit of Muslims who have had enough of Hamas’ rule of terror.
ARE REFUGEES FROM GAZA the new Jews?
According to the reports (ibid.)
- Israel is willing to pay for Palestinians to leave the Gaza Strip and has been in contact with other countries about the possibility of absorbing the emigres.
A source flying with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Ukraine told reporters that Israel would make an airfield available and even pay for the flights, but no countries have so far agreed to accept the Gazans.
”But no countries have so far agreed to accept the Gazans."
Left wing HaAretz claims that
- Official says Israel ready to pay for flights, but that no country has agreed to accept emigrants.
The official added that the (Israeli) government had asked a few countries, including some in the Middle East, whether they would be willing to accept Palestinians from Gaza, and was turned down.
Last year, 35,000 Palestinians emigrated from Gaza via the Rafah crossing on the border with Egypt. Most of those leaving are young people who are relatively well off, including 150 doctors from Gaza hospitals. Most of those leaving fly to Turkey, where local intermediaries put them on ships bound for Greece, and from there they continue to Europe.
Right wing Israel HaYom reports that
- The Israeli government has been actively encouraging Palestinian residents of the Gaza Strip to leave the coastal enclave and is willing to foot the bill, an unnamed senior Israeli official said on Monday.
The government is currently in talks with countries in the Middle East and Europe to absorb the potential émigré, but so far no country has agreed.
The English-language Jerusalem Post notes
- According to an NPR report last month, between 35,000 to 40,000 people have left Gaza via Egypt since Egypt opened the Sinai-Gaza border in May 2018. Egypt reportedly allows a few hundred Gazans to cross the frontier each day.
According to these reports, some of those exiting Gaza via Egypt fly from Cairo to the Gulf. Others remain in Egypt, while some fly to Turkey and in the hope of smuggling their way into Greece, and from there to other European Union countries.
The Times of Israel reports that
- The (Israeli) National Security Council has recently spoken to European leaders and even countries in the region, asking if they were ready to accept Palestinians who want to leave the Strip, he said. So far, no country has agreed to absorb them, though. However, an “independent emigration” continues by those Gazans who manage to find host countries on their own, the official said.
There was no immediate reaction from Palestinian officials to the Israeli efforts.
The Hamas terror group — which took over Gaza by force in 2007, leading Israel and Egypt to impose a blockade — has imposed measures to stem the tide of emigration, according to a report by the Haaretz daily in May.
Ynet basically reported what all the other publications were reporting.

PLAGIARISM is the act of appropriating the literary composition of another, or parts or passages of his writings, or the ideas or language of the same, and passing them off as the product of one’s own mind.
Truth is an absolute defense to defamation. Defamation is a false statement of fact. If the statement was accurate, then by definition it wasn’t defamatory.
