Watan-Over the past two days, unknown entities have circulated information promoting “migration” routes from the Gaza Strip, allegedly linked to the Israeli state. This has prompted Gaza’s authorities to issue warnings about these plans.
This information has spread widely on social media, with activists warning of Israeli deception tactics, while others emphasize the dire situation in Gaza.
Security Warning
The Ministry of Interior in Gaza has stated that Israeli intelligence agencies are behind what they described as “misleading campaigns and psychological pressure on the citizens,” through text messages and phone calls urging them to meet with Israeli intelligence under the pretense of allowing them to travel outside Gaza.
The ministry has warned citizens not to engage with any messages or calls from such sources, emphasizing that cooperating with these deceptive practices could lead to serious consequences. The message strongly condemns the tactics used by Israeli intelligence, aimed at luring citizens into espionage.
Additionally, the ministry called on the international community to pressure Israel to halt these harmful campaigns, which they see as a violation of international law and a step toward forcibly displacing Palestinians from their land. It further stressed that the Gaza security forces would take “legal measures” against anyone found cooperating with these Israeli intelligence efforts.
Migration Pathways Spread by Israel
In the last two days, Israel has promoted a supposed migration mechanism on social media, claiming it allows Palestinians to leave Gaza through coordination with Israeli law firms. According to these reports, those seeking to travel would handle the necessary paperwork with Israeli legal representatives, receive approval, and then leave via the Karem Abu Salem crossing south of Gaza to Ramon Airport, from where they would be flown to various countries in Europe and Asia.
Israel claims that some Gaza residents have already left via this route, traveling from Karem Abu Salem to Ramon Airport and onwards to foreign countries.
This is part of a broader Israeli plan aimed at pushing Gaza’s residents toward “migration” using various air, land, and sea routes, in an effort to regain full control of Gaza, utilize it for economic development projects, and expand settlements in the area.
Government Response to Migration Rumors
The Gaza government has issued an “official warning” regarding these migration rumors, describing them as part of a “malicious campaign” led by Israel to destabilize Palestinian resistance and national consciousness. The government called on residents to avoid falling for these deceptive narratives and cautioned against following the so-called “safe migration” routes promoted by Israel.
The Ministry of Information, which represents Hamas in Gaza, confirmed that these claims were completely false. The information being shared was part of a calculated disinformation campaign aimed at undermining the Palestinian struggle and pushing people toward forced migration, exacerbating the suffering caused by war and occupation.
Poisonous Propaganda
The Ministry of Information emphasized that the Israeli government, through fake accounts and malicious entities, was spreading misinformation. The campaign uses counterfeit legal documents and misleading offers to lure Gaza residents into the illusion of “safe migration,” which Israel funds in an attempt to disguise its population displacement goals.
It warned Gaza residents about the dangers of such “poisonous propaganda,” which aligns with a long-standing Israeli strategy to empty Palestine of its native population, thus achieving what they called the “Israeli dream.”
The ministry also cautioned against sharing suspicious phone numbers and personal details that are circulating as part of these schemes. Such information could be used for security purposes, leading to potential infiltration or criminal activity against Palestinians.
Final Warning
The government reminded citizens that the few cases of people leaving Gaza in recent weeks were for medical purposes, not migration. Those leaving for treatment had completed legal procedures and traveled through Karem Abu Salem, not as part of any migration program.
The authorities urged residents to report any suspicious groups or individuals attempting to manipulate the population, stressing that any collaboration with these deceptive schemes would be met with severe legal action. They reaffirmed that Palestine is sacred land, not for sale, and that the Palestinian people will not be uprooted from their homeland.
