In a statement issued on Monday, the movement denounced “the remarks made by the officials of the Nazi government in the Israeli entity regarding the displacement of our people in the Gaza Strip and the search for countries to deport them to.”
Such statements, the movement added, “are ongoing war crimes that confirm the Zionist aggression on the Gaza Strip is a war of genocide against the existence of the Palestinian people in their homeland.”
Commenting on their remarks, the Islamic Jihad said silence in the face of the Israeli regime’s plan to displace the people of Gaza “implies implicit encouragement for the entity to continue its criminal agenda.”
Such agenda “will not be limited to Gaza alone,” the movement warned, adding that the plan threatens “Arab national security” and poses a “definite danger…to the stability of all countries of the region.”
Concluding the statement, the Resistance movement held the United States responsible for emboldening the Israeli regime to implement such plans against Palestinians “through the invention of the term ‘voluntary displacement’.”
The Islamic Jihad said the US is “giving the [Zionist] entity the time and weapons necessary to destroy all aspects of life in Gaza, so that displacement becomes the only option” for its people.
The Islamic Jihad, however, vowed that Palestinian Resistance groups will not hesitate to stand up to the US-backed Israeli onslaught.
“We affirm that we will continue to confront this war of extermination and displacement, and we rely on the awareness of our people and the bravery of the combatants in the field to thwart these criminal plans,” the movement said.
The Israeli regime launched its war on Gaza on October 7, 2023, following an operation by the territory’s Resistance movements, dubbed Operation al-Aqsa Storm. Close to 22,000 people, most of them women and children, have been killed in the regime’s military aggression so far.
Throughout the war, the regime’s officials have been floating a plan, that requires forced displacement of Palestinians residing in Gaza to other countries.
