Zehut party chairman Moshe Feiglin declared that any resolution over Gaza must include returning the land to Jewish control, stating that the price should be the territory given back to the Jews. The longtime right-wing advocate also offered to relocate Gazans to Somaliland as part of his vision for resolving the conflict. Feiglin has repeatedly argued for emptying the Strip through emigration or transfer so that Jewish communities can be rebuilt and the area annexed, especially in the aftermath of the October 7, 2023 massacre. He frames the current situation as an opportunity to reverse previous withdrawals and restore full Israeli sovereignty over the territory. The proposal reflects his consistent position that Gaza cannot remain under Palestinian control after the attacks that killed more than a thousand people. Feiglin’s remarks come amid ongoing Israeli political debates about the future of the enclave and potential population movements. Somaliland has previously been mentioned in some Israeli discussions as a possible destination for voluntary Palestinian emigration, though official statements have clarified it is not part of any recent formal agreements.

Feiglin’s comments underscore a hardline approach that prioritizes Jewish resettlement and security through demographic change in Gaza. He has long advocated rebuilding settlements that were dismantled in earlier disengagements and turning the area into a permanent part of Israel. By linking the return of the land to Jewish hands with an emigration option to Somaliland, he presents a concrete if controversial pathway for what he calls a lasting solution. Critics view such ideas as extreme, while supporters see them as a necessary response to the threats posed by groups operating from the Strip. The Zehut leader continues to push these positions as Israel approaches elections and weighs long-term options for the territory. His statements keep the focus on annexation and transfer as central elements of any postwar arrangement. The discussion around Somaliland remains speculative and has not advanced into official policy according to recent government clarifications.
