TEL AVIV PLANS TO TURN GAZA INTO ISRAELI CITY: ANALYST
Tel Aviv, 10 Shawwal 1435/6 August 2014 (MINA) – The Israeli occupation regime plans to eliminate all Palestinian resistance in the Gaza Strip and turn the enclave into a new Israeli occupation city, a political analyst tells Press TV.
In an interview with Press TV on Tuesday, Ralph Schoenman said that there is no end in sight for Israel’s occupation regime military operations in Gaza as a new plan by Israeli occupation regime Knesset’s deputy speaker Moshe Feiglin reveals that Tel Aviv is seeking the total destruction of Gaza.
The analyst also said that Israel occupation regime now wants to “internalize” the fact that “this is our country exclusively including Gaza,” Press TV quoted by Mi’raj Islamic News Agency (MINA) as reporting, Wednesday.
Schoenman said Feiglin’s plan also included the total annihilation of Palestinian resistance fighters and supporters of Hamas movement so that Israel can “turn Gaza into Jaffa, an Israeli city, with a minimal number of hostile civilians.”
Feiglin has written about his plans in a letter addressed to Israeli occupation regime Premier Benjamin Netanyahu, in which he said he wanted the measures to be enforced as soon as possible.
In the letter, Feiglin said he wanted Israeli occupation regime military forces to find areas on the Sinai border to set up “tent encampments… until relevant emigration destinations are determined.” Furthermore, he wants Gaza’s electricity and water supplies to be disconnected before shelling the besieged area “with maximum fire power.”
Schoenman described the plans as “an open document by the deputy speaker of the Knesset to the prime minister of Israel declaring that they intend to set up concentration camps and a plan of effective genocide against the population.”
He further said the plan is “systematic and serious” and expressed regret that it has received no condemnation.
So far more than 1,880 Palestinians, including 430 children, have been killed and over 9,600 others wounded in Israeli military’s aggression since July 8. Tel Aviv says 64 Israeli occupation regime soldiers have been killed in the war, while Hamas puts the number at more than 150. (T/E01/IR)
