Israeli lawmaker hopes Palestinians ‘Disappear’
An Israeli extremist legislator, Matan Kahana, came under fire on Tuesday for stating that if he could press a button to make all Palestinians disappear, he would.
Deputy Religious Services of the Israeli occupation Minister Matan Kahana made the statements to high school students in a West Bank settlement.
“If there was a sort of button you could push that would make all the Arabs disappear, send them on an express train to Switzerland,” he said, “I would press that button.”
Kahana is one of Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s extremest Yamina parties which arrives a coalition of eight groups.
The danger of forcible removal is a sensitive issue for Palestinians, who were forced to flee their houses after the establishment of the Israeli occupation over the year of the Nakba. A second uprooting happened during the 1967 Mideast war.
