Overheard in an Israeli cabinet meeting:
“These Palestinians aren’t gonna ethnically cleanse themselves!”
“But what if they did?”
“I welcome the initiative of the voluntary emigration of Gaza Arabs to countries around the world,” Smotrich said in a statement. “This is the right humanitarian solution for the residents of Gaza and the entire region after 75 years of refugees, poverty and danger.”
He said an area as small as the Gaza Strip without natural resources could not survive alone, and added: “The State of Israel will no longer be able to accept the existence of an independent entity in Gaza”.
This is Bezalel Smotrich, the man who suggested the Smotrich Doctrine where they will force Gazan to choose either migrate or get killed in a hostile area. Remember the Israeli Think Tank’s plan for the mass migration? This is the plan.
And there’s someone out there arguing this isn’t ethnic cleansing.
“Voluntary” but if they stay Israel will kill them all sooner or later.
Move Gaza Palestinians to the West Bank, West Bank illegal settlers to Gaza, Hamas to Jahannum, and Netanyahu to prison.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
JERUSALEM, Nov 14 (Reuters) - A senior far-right member of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government said on Tuesday Gaza could not survive as an independent entity and it would be better for Palestinians there to leave for other countries.
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who heads one of the religious nationalist parties in Netanyahu’s coalition, said he supported a call by two members of the Israeli parliament who wrote in a Wall Street Journal editorial that Western countries should accept Gazan families who expressed a desire to relocate.
“This is the right humanitarian solution for the residents of Gaza and the entire region after 75 years of refugees, poverty and danger.”
Smotrich spoke during Israel’s invasion of the Gaza Strip, a blockaded coastal enclave ruled by the Islamist movement Hamas that is home to some 2.3 million people, most of them refugees after earlier wars.
The Israeli military has told residents of northern Gaza to leave their homes and head to the southern end of the Strip, where it said they would be safer, and said they would be able to return once the situation is stabilised.
However there has been little clarity about Israel’s longer term intentions, and countries including the United States have said that Gaza should be governed by Palestinians.
