DeSantis Would Not Prevent Israel from Removing Palestinians from Gaza to Avert a 'Second Holocaust'

The Florida Governor's Comments Came Just Hours After Netanyahu Reiterated Israel's Stance Against Permanent Occupation of Gaza

During a Republican presidential debate, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis stated that he would not prevent Israel from removing Palestinian civilians from the Gaza Strip if it were to avert a 'second Holocaust'.
DeSantis' comments came just hours after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel has no plans to remove Palestinians or to permanently reoccupy the Gaza Strip.
DeSantis also expressed his disagreement with the idea of a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict, arguing that a Palestinian state could lead to Israel's 'destruction'.
The debate took place on the eve of opening arguments at The Hague, where Israel faces charges of genocide at the International Court of Justice.
DeSantis and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley are vying for the second place spot in the Republican presidential primary, behind former President Donald Trump.
