Ben-Gvir says Israel would sell Palestinians to other countries, claims unconfirmed

What happened

Regional public source Middle East Eye Gaza reports that Israeli far-right minister Itamar Ben-Gvir stated in an Israeli Channel 14 interview that Israel would sell Palestinians to other countries to get rid of them. The source material includes a video clip but no independent confirmation of this claim.

Outside Brief is treating this as a source-led account. Any disputed responsibility, casualty figure, battlefield claim or single-source assertion should be treated as unconfirmed/hearsay unless confirmed by another reliable source or a named official. The claim comes amid ongoing conflict-related displacement and severe humanitarian needs in Gaza and the West Bank, where discussions of population transfer and resettlement carry heavy political and legal implications. However, the report does not confirm any concrete plans or actions toward this stated intent.

Ben-Gvir’s statement is attributed directly to him but has not been corroborated by other sources or official responses, underlining the need for caution before treating this as a verified policy position or fact.
