“Why shouldn’t Gaza residents be given a choice? Let them leave,” he said at a conference of leaders of American Jewish organizations in Jerusalem.
According to the Israeli prime minister, some 100,000 people have left Gaza in the past two years. Gazans who want to leave the enclave and live elsewhere should be allowed to do so, he noted.
