Board of Peace could be backing 'ethnic cleansing-lite' in Gaza

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

60% : The document, which was recently delivered to Israel by the Board of Peace and the US, asks Israel to establish a "travel programme" for Gazan students alongside a large-scale medical evacuation programme for patients requiring treatment abroad.
53% : A document obtained by Israeli public broadcaster Kan shows that the organisation committed to Israel in writing that it would identify countries around the world willing to take in students and medical patients from Gaza.
51% : The Trump-backed Board of Peace has reportedly pledged to Israel that it will help facilitate the transfer of some Palestinians from Gaza, in a move that appears to support Israel's broader campaign to ethnically cleanse the territory after declining to endorse the mass "voluntary migration" of its more than two million residents.
47% : Israel has also established a dedicated government directorate to oversee plans for the forcible relocation of Palestinians from Gaza. Defence Minister Israel Katz, another leading advocate of the policy, vowed in May that it would be "implemented at the right time and in the right manner".
46% : Negotiators last week appeared to make a breakthrough after Hamas agreed to surrender its weapons if Israel complied with the October ceasefire agreement.
45% : This comes as Israel continues to oppose the peace plan being advanced by the Board of Peace in talks with Hamas.
45% : A roadmap released by the Board of Peace last week called on Israel to "fully" implement the ceasefire agreement "without delay".
41% : Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir have repeatedly advocated the mass displacement of Gaza's population since the start of Israel's genocidal war on the enclave in October 2023.
40% : The plan also echoes proposals advanced by Israel's far-right government to depopulate Gaza.
36% : But Israel instead escalated its attacks, killing at least 18 people on Sunday in what Gaza health officials said was the deadliest day in weeks.
35% : The US and Israel also made unsuccessful attempts to persuade several African countries to take in Palestinians.
19% : Talking to Haaretz in June, an Israeli security source linked the issue to the Iran war, suggesting that Trump may support it "as compensation for painful concessions" that Washington forced Israel to make as part of the peace deal with Tehran.
