The recent "Resettlement" conference in "Israel", attended by thousands of settlers and officials, has sparked sharp criticism from various quarters within the occupation's entity amid mounting internal divisions, most notably on the war on Gaza.
The event unveiled genocidal sentiments as discussions about plans and statements regarding the potential reoccupation of Gaza unfolded.
According to the Israeli newspaper Maariv, a group of 30 Knesset members and coalition ministers, including members of the ruling party, who are advocating for the "resettlement" of Gaza and are referred to as "hallucinations", strategically inflicted irreversible damage on "Israel" in the international arena yesterday, severely impacting the "legitimacy of the ongoing war."
"Dancing on their blood, just dancing on their misery. Let them go, as they are currently occupied with settling in Gaza," commented one of the family members of an Israeli captive.
The newspaper continued by stating, "But we are not in an ordinary day. We are in an era where there is no king in Israel," indicating that "the current Israeli prime minister is a puppet being pulled by a string by Itamar Ben-Gvir (Minister of Police) and Yair Lapid (Minister of Finance)."
Maariv highlighted that "the last instance when the issue of renewing Israeli settlement in Gaza was discussed, Netanyahu promptly released an English-language statement declaring it would not occur, emphasizing Israel's lack of intent to regain control of Gaza."
The newspaper speculated that Netanyahu "received a straightforward message at the time, stating that this should be his final explicit statement on this matter, and now he is committed to maintaining silence."
🚨 Tell me again how it is not genocide and ethnic cleansing?

The newspaper further explained that "all government and coalition spokespersons, including Netanyahu, caution against engaging in politics at the moment, advising against discussing the future, elections, an official inquiry committee, and identifying those responsible for leading us into the current predicament."
Furthermore, Maariv emphasized that they gathered in the city square, akin to newlyweds celebrating their wedding day, but in separation, and engaged in dancing.
The focus was on the day after the war ended, which was purely political, the newspaper highlighted.
"The revival of Israeli settlements in Gaza is considered the most politically charged issue globally and the most contentious one in Israel," it added.
The newspaper underscored that they are breaking down the rare consensus on this war into factions.
"How can they dance and cheer?," it questioned.
"What are these hallucinators celebrating there? They are dancing in the middle of a war, amid one of the most significant disasters," suggesting that they "haven't even initiated the process of resettling hundreds of thousands of Israelis back to their settlements, yet they are already celebrating the resurgence of Israeli settlements in Gaza," as per the newspaper.
"Take Netanyahu, confine him in a sealed courtroom, hook him up to a lie detector, and inquire if there is any possibility in the world to reconstruct settlements in Gaza," Maariv added.
The newspaper further stressed that there is no cost Netanyahu is unwilling to bear to persist in holding onto the erratic 64-seat coalition he established "for perpetual disgrace," confirming that he "is unfit for anything. Certainly not to lead Israel through such a profound crisis."
'Resettlement' Conference: Israelis cheer for the usurpation of Gaza
In their latest attempt to expel Palestinians from Gaza, ministers and members of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's far-right party Likud assembled to brainstorm legal ways to "voluntarily emigrate" Palestinians as coined by the extremist Police Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.
Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported that the conference on the "resettlement" of Gaza was held in occupied al-Quds on Sunday and was attended by thousands of Israeli settlers, members of the Knesset, the coalition cabinet, rabbis, and ministers. Families of Israeli occupation soldiers were also among the attendees. The conference itself resembled a carnival per se, with dancing and cheering echoing calls for genocide.
12 ministers and 15 coalition lawmakers expressed their will to re-occupy Gaza.
"Israel's" fascist notions at the conference were not the first of their kind and certainly do not express their desire for maintaining legality and giving Palestinians their right to choice.
Ben-Gvir, Netanyahu, and Smotrich have all previously called for the forced displacement of Palestinians.
