Israel's far-right finance minister Bezalel Smotrich told a settler lobbying group that it is “necessary to occupy the Gaza Strip.”
Smotrich said Gaza could be emptied of half its population through "voluntary" migration within two years.
“We don’t need to be scared of this word [occupation],” he said.
He said the “voluntary migration” of Palestinians from Gaza could also serve as a “model” for the West Bank.
