English Script:
Jomana Karadasheh: It was a moment of division, pain and trauma for many Israelis. 2005, the end of Gush Katif, a cluster of Israeli settlements in Gaza dismantled by the government. Thousands of settlers forced out of their homes under the disengagement law, that saw an end to Israel’s presence in the Gaza Strip. But after nearly two decades of yearning for return, the movement to do so now appears more important than ever. No less than Israeli troops themselves. Social media is now awash in images like these. One of Israel’s most popular musicians, to the cheers of troops, sings about that return, and moving the Nova Festival scene of a Hamas massacre to Gaza’s beaches. And in recent weeks, from inside Gaza, soldiers proudly displaying the orange color of protest against the 2005 disengagement. Here, soldiers with a banner that reads, only settlement would be considered victory. And in this video, troops announcing the symbolic reestablishment of a former settlement.
Yishai Fleisher: Jewish sovereignty, Jewish governance, and, of course, Jewish people being able to live in this ancestral piece of land. Arabs, if they pro jihad, pro-Israel and want to live that good life in that beautiful soil, there should be an opportunity for that. But anti-Israel, pro Jihad Arabs have got to leave and they’re going to have to find a different place to go”.
Jomana Karadasheh: A poll of Gazans conducted just before October 7th showed that 44% had no trust in Hamas. 23% had little trust. From the front lines, a message to the prime minister: “We are occupying, deporting and settling. Do you hear that, Bibi?”. Bibi Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has yet to unveil his government’s plans for postwar Gaza. On the eve of last week’s court hearing in The Hague with Israel facing South Africa’s accusations of genocide, he released this English language statement.
Netanyahu: Israel has no intention of permanently occupying Gaza or displacing its civilian population.
Jomana Karadasheh: But those calls for expelling Gazans and reviving settlements are coming from powerful far right members of his coalition.
Bezalel Smotrich: We will not be able to rule there without reestablishing a settlement. The majority of them want to emigrate. They just need to be allowed to do it.
Jomana Karadasheh: The comments have been concerned enough to draw rebuke from US and our governments and many within Israel who say their widely unacceptable. But voices of the movement are growing louder by the day. Ultranationalist and religious parties bringing that discussion into the Knesset. While these voices are by no means a majority in Israel, they are powerful and have been advancing their extremist agenda.
Dahlia Scheindlin: The ideas that often seem very extreme at a certain phase in Israel’s history can over time become increasingly normalized very incrementally.
Jomana Karadasheh: Palestinians fear this is the unspoken plan. “There is only one solution for the Gaza Strip”. Gaza has become unlivable. The north a decimated wasteland. Around half of all buildings across Gaza damaged or destroyed. Nearly its entire population forced to move time and time again. 1.9 million people squeezed into a tiny part of the enclave, not knowing if they’ll ever be allowed to return to their homes. And the far right has been promoting relocating Palestinians as a humanitarian idea.
Itamar Ben-Gvir: We must promote a solution to encourage the emigration of the residents of Gaza. This is a correct, just moral and humane solution.
Jomana Karadasheh: For that, Israel is facing accusations of violating international laws, acts that could amount to genocide.
Omer Bartov: There is an opening for those ministers, media people and so forth on the Israeli right to say, well the most humanitarian solution is to remove the population or to encourage them, as they say, to move out of Gaza. If that happens, then this entire scenario that I’m talking about will be seen as ethnic cleansing and ethnic cleansing is always on the verge of genocide.If you rejected by the likes of Hebron settler leader and returned to Gush Katif activist Yishai Fleisher.
Yishai Fleisher: it is a time of opportunity to change more people’s minds here in Israel and to bring more unity and brotherhood in our peoplehood.
Jomana Karadasheh: Do you feel that this vision, what you believe in, what should happen, has become more of a possibility, more realistic right now Post October seven?
Yishai Fleisher: I’d like to think so, yes. But Israel isn’t very much in conversation right now. There’s definitely a think out happening. People are like waking up to you know, they’re trying to open their minds.
