"Time to Pack Suitcases": 1.86 Million in Seven Years, NIS 10 Billion, Its Own Ministry. A Week Later Israel's Foreign Minister Said There Is No Plan.

Ben-Gvir unveiled "Disengagement 710" on September 3: twenty pages, targets of 250,000 Gazans leaving in year one, 1.11 million within three years and 1.86 million within seven, a dedicated emigration ministry with its own minister and budget as Otzma Yehudit's condition for joining the next coalition, NIS 10 billion to start against a matching framework of up to NIS 50 billion, packages covering travel, housing, vocational training and 24 months of support, and monthly publication of departure statistics. Destinations under examination: Turkey, Ethiopia, Congo, Arab states. Countries that have agreed to take anyone: none. Adalah called it illegal and inhumane; forced transfer from occupied territory is a war crime. It landed one day after Katz said Israel was "organised and prepared to get them out" and that Trump had only frozen the plan, from entry #45. Then Huckabee said categorically no plan exists, and on September 10 Israel's own foreign minister said the same in Ljubljana. Here is why all four statements coexist: the denials are about force and the plan is about inducement, so a document with quotas and an appropriation is answered by a promise that nobody will be compelled, and the press files that as a rebuttal. Nobody asked Ben-Gvir why voluntary departure needs a quota, and nobody asked Sa'ar what the twenty pages are.
