Tel Aviv, January 2 (RHC)-- Tens of thousands of illegal settlers have left the occupied Palestinian territories since the onset of intense retaliatory strikes by regional resistance groups in response to the Israeli regime’s multi-pronged wars across the West Asia region, prompting the regime’s foreign minister to call for bringing more Jews from abroad.

Gideon Saer made the demand in a letter to prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday, calling for taking place of an “emergency meeting” towards launch of a “national plan” aimed at attracting Jewish immigrants from across the world.

As a means of supporting his call, the minister alleged that increase in “anti-Semitism” throughout the global community and its adverse effect on overseas Jews’ sense of security, had prompted them to apply for migrating to the territories.

“Now, we need a comprehensive ‘national plan’ to attract potential migrants increasingly and in a more improved manner,” he claimed.

The settlers broke the record of reverse migration in 2024, with an unprecedented 82,700 of them fleeing the territories, causing the regime to find itself at a great loss amid huge investment on the part of Tel Aviv and its Western backers towards keeping the settlers inside the territories and bringing in more.

The developments came amid the regime’s ongoing October 2023-present war of genocide against the Gaza Strip that has so far claimed the lives of more than 45,500 Palestinians, mostly women and children, namely six percent of Gaza’s population, and its escalated deadly aggression against Lebanon, which has killed more than 3,960 people.

The atrocities have been majorly enabled on the back of unstinting support by the regime’s Western supporters, most notably the United States.
