Israeli minister touts Gaza 'real estate bonanza', defying international backlash
finance minister Bezalel Smotrich has said the Gaza Strip could be a "real estate bonanza" and that he is in talks with the US about dividing up the territory after the war - an idea previously condemned internationally.
"We paid a lot of money for this war," said Smotrich. "So we need to divide how we make a percentage on the land marketing later".
He has control over planning in the West Bank and has repeatedly pushed expansionist policies.
In late August, he unveiled a proposal for the annexation of approximately four-fifths of the the territory.
He said the plan would involve "applying Israeli sovereignty" to approximately 82% of the West Bank, adding that this was in line with the principle of "maximum land with minimum Arabs".
