Smotrich calls on Netanyahu to conquer Gaza under military rule, re-establish settlements
"There is no one in the world who will do the work for us. There is no country in the world that will send its soldiers to shed their blood and forcibly disarm Hamas," he told the students.
Smotrich backed voluntary emigration, decried Trump's new plan
The minister also called for voluntary emigration from Gaza, a proposal popular among the Israeli right-wing, to be encouraged by the government.
Smotrich criticized Trump's 20-point plan for Gaza, which calls for an international force to take security control over Gaza.
"There is no one in the world who will do the work for us. There is no country in the world that will send its soldiers to shed their blood and forcibly disarm Hamas," he told the students.
"I have been telling the prime minister since the first day of the war: It is either us or them," he added.
"Either the State of Israel will courageously rule Gaza and tell the entire world, 'We will not allow two million, or 1.8 million, Nazis to live on our border and plot against our communities and our children,' or terror will rule Gaza."
Turning to the students, Smotrich reiterated his position of "conquest, military government, settlement."
Located about one kilometer from Gaza, Hamas' brutal October 7 attacks hit Sderot hard. Dozens of civilians, and a number of police officers and soldiers were killed during the terror group's onslaught.
Efforts to rebuild the city have been underway and most residents have returned after initially evacuating to other regions.
