Israeli Knesset, Ofer Cassif, revealed the roots of the Israeli plan to control the Palestinian territories, explaining that this plan was not born after the events of October 7, 2023, but rather dates back to 2017.
The deputy of the left -wing Haddash Party said that the relevant Israeli plan was developed by the current Finance Minister of Smutrich, as what is known as the “subjugation plan” or the “decisive plan”, which is a clear ideological perception to dismantle any possibility of establishing a Palestinian state.
Capev describes this plan as a colonial project that aims to include the Palestinian territories without granting its residents any political or civil rights, then expelled those who refuse to submit, and killing those who resist.
Practical application
He believes that what is happening in Gaza now, from the shelling, starvation, displacement and killing, is not the result of an emergency, but rather the practical application of this plan that has been prepared for years.
Corvice notes that Smotrich’s statements about “the complete destruction of Gaza” are not surprising, but rather a natural extension of his declared thought for a long time.
The writer emphasizes that the Israeli government uses what happened on October 7 is an excuse to implement its project, not for defensive purposes as it is promoted.
He says that he warned early against using the attack to carry out a widespread annexation, but he faced sanctions, including the suspension of his membership in the Knesset twice, one of them after his support for South Africa’s position in the International Court of Justice against Israel’s practices in Gaza.
Cassif explains that the actions of the Israeli government in the past 18 months reflect a systematic application of Smotrich’s plan: bombing, starvation and expulsion for the Palestinians, in preparation for the establishment of new settlements.
The world’s astonishment
He says that at a time when the world is amazed by these massacres, Israeli settlers celebrate, describing what is happening as “the time of the miracle.”
Corva believes that the essence of the “subjugation” plan does not deviate from concepts such as ethnic cleansing, illegal annexation, and collective killing, which, in his opinion, constitutes a clear definition of genocide in accordance with international law.
This document (Smotrich’s Plan) is called for a major evidence in any international trial aimed at proving the commitment of genocide against the Palestinians.
At the end of his article, Capev calls for the necessity of holding the Israeli government accountable, not only by speech or diplomatic condemnation, but through effective international legal mechanisms, warning that continued silence or leniency will lead to more disasters against the Palestinians, as well as the Israelis themselves.
