Smotrich, a key partner in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's governing coalition, supports the reoccupation of Gaza, the rebuilding of Jewish settlements that were removed in 2005, and what he describes as the voluntary migration of large numbers of Palestinians out of the territory. EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell called the remarks “beyond ignominious," saying"it demonstrates, once again, his contempt for international law and for basic principles of humanity.”

“We expect the wider Israeli government to retract and condemn them,” he wrote on the social media platform X.“It is a principle of international law and of humanity to protect civilians in a war and to give them access to water and food,” he wrote on X.
