Yair Golan of the Democratic Union has responded to the political source who said Israel wants to encourage emigration from Gaza.
Interviewed by public radio, the former senior officer in the Israel Defense Forces sadi, "If this is done to reduce the suffering of the Gazans - then I can understand, but if it comes from thinking that one day the Gaza Strip will be emptied of civilians and we can return there - it is a dangerous illusion and a disturbed idea."
