Israeli far-right leader Itamar Ben Gvir will unveil a $20bn plan on Thursday to encourage voluntary emigration from Gaza over the next seven years, according to Israel's National Security Minister. The plan, dubbed "Disengagement 710" by Ben Gvir, aims to force 250,000 Palestinians out of Gaza in the first year, followed by 1.11 million over the next three years, and a total of 1.86 million by the end of the program.

Israel has already paved the way for this plan by destroying or damaging over 80% of Gaza's infrastructure, while also withholding basic necessities such as food and water. The far-right minister will also seek international partnerships, with countries like Turkey, Ethiopia, Congo, and several Arab states accepting the expelled Palestinians.

The plan is expected to cost more than $3bn in the first year and approximately $20bn over seven years. Ben Gvir plans to make this proposal a condition for joining any future Israeli coalition, currently serving in a government led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
