Israeli minister unveils plan to relocate 1.86 million Palestinians from Gaza, fuelling anger
Far-right minister Itamar Ben-Gvir presented "Disengagement 710," a plan for roughly 250,000 Palestinians to leave Gaza in its first year and 1.86 million within seven, ahead of Israel's October 27 election. It remains his party's proposal, not government policy; Palestinian representatives and rights groups say no departure under wartime conditions can be called voluntary.
