Al Jazeera: Smotrich Confirms Gaza Division Plan Between Israel & U.S. Sits on Trump’s Desk
September 19, 2025
Israel’s Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich just exposed the truth: Gaza’s destruction was never about “security” — it was the demolition phase of a land grab.
He bragged that the war paved the way for a “real estate bonanza,” and that the U.S. already has Trump’s desk stacked with plans to carve Gaza into percentages like corporate shares.
This is not a war.
This is ethnic cleansing, dressed up as urban renewal.
Gaza is not Israel’s real estate project. Gaza is not for sale. Gaza is Palestine. Always.

English Script:
Interviewer: Let’s talk about the day after the war in terms of real estate. You have often spoken out about the renewal of Jewish settlement in the Gaza Strip. A simple question: Where, in your opinion, should the first settlement in the Strip be established?
Bezalel Smotrich: I admit I didn’t expect this. Just so you know, it’s not funny. There’s a business plan. Listen to me carefully, there’s a business plan set by the most professional people there are and it’s on president trump’s table and how this thing turns into a real estate bonanza. I’m not kidding, it pays off. I have started negotiations with the Americans. I say this not jokingly now, because I also demand we pay a lot of money for this war, so we need to divide how we make a percentage on the land marketing later in Gaza. And now, no kidding, we’ve done the demolition phase which is always the first phase of urban renewal, Now we need to build, it’s much cheaper.
