Israel's far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has announced plans for a government migration office that he says would promote the "voluntary migration" of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.

In a post on X, Ben-Gvir argued that encouraging such migration represented the real and only solution. He said it would offer Palestinians in Gaza the chance of a better life and claimed that his Jewish Power party would lead the proposed office after the Oct. 27 elections.

Israeli media reported that Ben-Gvir was preparing to present a plan called "Breaking the Bond 710." The reported plan describes the departure of Palestinians as voluntary, but sets targets for moving 250,000 of Gaza's 2.2 million residents in the first year, 1.11 million within three years and around 1.86 million by the end of seven years.
