Netanyahu: “We Are Destroying More and More Homes, and Gazans Have Nowhere to Return To”

Occupied Palestine (Quds News Network)- ICC-wanted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu boasted on Sunday that Israel is destroying more homes in Gaza, leaving civilians with nowhere to return to.

“We are destroying more and more homes, and Gazans have nowhere to return to,” Netanyahu told the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee.

He added that forced expulsion, which he calls ’emigration’, from Gaza is becoming the only “inevitable outcome” and claimed that the main obstacle is not Israel, but the countries unwilling to accept fleeing Palestinians.

Netanyahu’s comments triggered a wave of condemnation from human rights groups. The Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor said his statement is a direct confession of a forced displacement plan.

“This is a modern-day ethnic cleansing,” the group said. “Israel is deliberately destroying civilian homes to push Palestinians into exile. Netanyahu himself says the problem isn’t law—it’s finding countries to take them in.”

In the same meeting, Netanyahu spoke for the first time about aid distribution. He said that only Gazans who agree not to return to their homes and towns would receive humanitarian aid.

Experts say this ties survival aid to forced exile. “This is not security policy,” Euro-Med added. “This is collective punishment and forced transfer. It’s a violation of international law.”

The ICC-wanted Israeli President also addressed the future of Gaza. He said that while the U.S. is interested in controlling Gaza, Israel is not planning to resettle the territory—for now.
“I know I will disappoint some people here, but we are not talking about Israeli settlement in the Gaza Strip right now,” he said.

His remarks prompted a response from far-right MK Limor Son Har-Melech of Otzma Yehudit:
“Bring the Jews from the United States. This way we’ll hit two birds with one stone.”

More than 1.9 million Palestinians have already been displaced. Most are sheltering in makeshift tents or rubble. Israel continues to bomb civilian neighborhoods and restrict aid.

Palestinian rights groups and legal experts say these actions amount to war crimes.
The Euro-Med Monitor called for urgent sanctions, arms embargoes, and prosecution of Israeli leaders.
“This is not a military campaign. It is a full-scale operation to erase a people from their land,” the group said.
