JERUSALEM: Israel’s far-right finance minister on Thursday laid out his party’s plan to dramatically increase the number of Jews living in two areas of the country with large Arab-Israeli populations.
With elections approaching, Bezalel Smotrich said the plan would emulate what he termed the “revolution” in the occupied West Bank, where the construction of Israeli settlements has soared in recent years.
“Today I present to you the Religious Zionism’s plan for the Judaization of the Negev and Galilee: the revolution we carried out in Judea and Samaria — we will carry out in the Negev and Galilee, and on a massive scale,” he wrote on X, using the Biblical name for the West Bank.
His party posted an AI-generated video on X showing two Arab men shouting and crying about the proposed plan.
״כן. מייהדים!״
