“Within a few months we will be able to declare that we have won. Gaza will be totally destroyed,” Smotrich says at the “Settlements Conference” in the West Bank settlement of Ofra, organized by the Makor Rishon newspaper.

“In another six months Hamas won’t exist as a functioning entity... The population of Gaza will be concentrated from the Morag Corridor southwards. The rest of the Strip will be empty.”

Adds the finance minister: “The Gazan citizens will be concentrated in the south. They will be totally despairing, understanding that there is no hope and nothing to look for in Gaza, and will be looking for relocation to begin a new life in other places.”

"You say 'concentrated' like it's 'evil', really it's more like camping."

Maybe you’d want to take a “camping” trip to Gaza and report to us how it is?
