Israel's Finance Minister calls for Palestinians to leave Gaza

Israel's Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich is calling for a return of Jewish settlements to Gaza, which is illegal under international law. Opinion polling reveals most Israelis do not support the return of settlements to Gaza. He also says Palestinians should be encouraged to leave the enclave and emigrate overseas. Mr Smotrich’s views come in conflict with the official Israel government position that Gazans will be able to return home after the war. The call comes as the Gaza Health Ministry says at least 100 people have been killed by Israeli air strikes in the past 24 hours.
