According to the official, Israel is willing to finance flights from an airport in the south for those who are interested in leaving.
Israel is actively encouraging the emigration of Palestinians from Gaza, a senior Israeli official told reporters accompanying Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on his current trip to Ukraine.
According to various tweets from reporters on the trip, the official said that Jerusalem is in contact with other countries including some in the Mideast to see if they would be willing to absorb Gazan emigrants. The official noted that more than 35,000 Gazans left the area last year.
According to the official, Israel is willing to finance flights from an airport in the south for those who are interested in leaving. The official said so far no country has responded positively to accepting emigrants from Gaza.
According to an NPR report last month, between 35,000 to 40,000 people have left Gaza via Egypt since Egypt opened the Sinai-Gaza border in May 2018. Egypt reportedly allows a few hundred Gazans to cross the frontier each day.
According to these reports, some of those exiting Gaza via Egypt fly from Cairo to the Gulf. Others remain in Egypt, while some fly to Turkey and in the hope of smuggling their way into Greece, and from there to other European Union countries.

How about to the middle of the Mediterranian?
Hmm this gives me an idea.
“The official said so far no country has responded positively to accepting emigrants from Gaza.”
Why am I not at all surprised? The Arab world likes to talk loudly of their support of the Palestinians (and will occasionally write some checks) but all in all, they don’t want the Palis in their countries either.
Years ago, I read somewhere (can’t remember the source) that amongst the Arab world, Palestinians (and Somalis) were considered trailer trash. Don’t know if it’s true but I did read it at least once.
The Sahara is supposed to be nice this time of year. They can kick back relax and work on that suntan.
NOT TO THE USA!
The first constructive step weve heard of good! Expand it country- wide including Jerusalem Samaria judea etc.
But like our illegals, is it just a free vacation to visit grandma and they’ll be back next week?
I’ve heard the idea phrased as “the palestinians are the underclass of the arab world.”
Exporting terrorism. Surprised the Democrats havent been clamoring to have them brought here.
“Years ago, I read somewhere (cant remember the source) that amongst the Arab world, Palestinians (and Somalis) were considered trailer trash. Dont know if its true but I did read it at least once.’
i’ve read similar items; one article said that REAL Arabs considered Palestinians as mongrel dogs and that NO Arab country would ever accept them into their own country ...
That will discourage immigration.
Nor to Europe!
