  "account": "Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir unveiled an illegal plan to expel the entire Palestinian population of Gaza to foreign nations, claiming the policy was \"realistic.\" The proposal aims to relocate 250,000 Palestinians in the first year alone, followed by the remaining two million over the course of six years. Ben-Gvir suggested that some countries are ready to host the displaced Palestinians, despite Arab nations' consistent rejection of forced displacement and their refusal to participate in such a plan. The announcement came during a press conference, positioning Ben-Gvir as the latest senior Israeli official to advocate for the expulsion of Gazans. This proposal echoes the rhetoric of previous Israeli officials, including Defence Minister Israel Katz, who previously stated that plans to expel Gazans \"by any means\" remained under discussion in Israel, though these plans were frozen by US President Donald Trump. A recent poll found that 82% of Israelis supported the expulsion of Gaza's residents. However, forcibly transferring civilians from occupied territory is considered a war crime under the Geneva Conventions. US Senator Chris van Hollen criticized Katz's rhetoric, calling for an end to US complicity, while US Congressman Greg Landsman referred to Ben-Gvir as \"the absolute worst.\" Israeli news outlet Ynet reported that the plan had already failed, citing the lack of any country willing to accept significant numbers of Gazan immigrants. Adalah, an Israeli rights group, denounced the proposal as illegal, inhumane, and unacceptable, emphasizing that it is merely a continuation of Israel's ongoing war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.",
