An Israeli website has disclosed that Tel Aviv has proposed enticing offers to Rwanda and Chad as incentives to accept Palestinian displaced persons from Gaza as part of its plan, which it describes as "voluntary" displacement for the residents of the enclave that has been under continuous aggression for the past three months.
The electronic site "Zaman Israel" reported on Friday that Israeli officials are conducting talks with Rwanda and Chad to receive the displaced from Gaza.
The site, citing unnamed sources, reported that the two countries have expressed a basic agreement to continue talks, unlike other countries that have rejected the matter in principle.
It was added that Israel offered aid and weapons to Rwanda and Chad as incentives to accept the Palestinian displaced persons; an initiative led by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Mossad.
"Zaman Israel" also noted that Tel Aviv "has also made this offer to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, but it is hesitant to accept it".
The site quoted an Israeli official as saying that "the work is very complicated," adding, "We need to strengthen this channel but must be very careful of reactions in the world and of being interpreted as forced deportation rather than voluntary migration. For this reason, we are working closely with legal counsel," he expressed.
According to the site, the basic outlines of the initiative include offering a "generous" financial grant to any Palestinian expressing a desire to leave Gaza, alongside extensive assistance to the host country, including military aid.
Israeli ministers, including the Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, and Knesset member of the ruling Likud party Danny Danon, have called in recent weeks for encouraging what they describe as "voluntary migration" of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, sparking US, international, and Arab criticisms.
Earlier, the Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the "voluntary displacement" of Gaza residents requires "an international stance to stop this crime and the war", while the Islamic Resistance Movement "Hamas" described those calls as "mere daydreams that are impractical," calling on the international community to "intervene to confront them".
The Israeli aggression on Gaza has resulted in about 23,000 martyrs and 57,000 wounded, with most of the enclave's population of 2.3 million displaced from their homes amidst an unprecedented humanitarian crisis and immense destruction to residential areas, vital facilities, and hospitals.
