Israel’s former defence minister Moshe Ya’alon has warned that Israel is being “dragged down a path of ethnic cleansing in the Gaza Strip”.
Speaking on Saturday, Ya’alon, who also served as IDF chief of staff, attacked the far-right elements in Israel’s coalition government in an interview with Lucy Aharish on DemocratTV.
“Those leading us now are dragging us toward nothing less than destruction,” he said.
“The path we are currently being led down involves conquering, annexing, and ethnic cleansing. Look at the northern Gaza Strip —transfer, call it whatever you want — and establish Jewish settlements. That’s the reality. Now, if you look at the polls, 70 per cent of the public, sometimes more, supports a certain vision: Jewish, democratic, liberal, and so on, along with separation. We cannot lose sight of that.”
