JAKARTA - Israeli Finance Minister who adheres to far-right political understanding, Bezalel Smotrich insisted that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attack and occupy the Gaza Strip, Palestine.

Instead of caring about the hunger that hit Gaza's population, Smotrich argued that the 'humanitarian trade' started by the Israeli army (IDF) seemed to agree to negotiate with Hamas.

"Gaza is an integral part of Israel. How to realize concrete plans (for re-residentials)? We need to think about it, and most importantly, we have to succeed," Smotrich said at a 20th anniversary of the withdrawal of Israeli settlers from the Palestinian territories, Tuesday local time, quoted from AFP.

Smotrich, who lives in an illegal Israeli settlement in the Palestinian region of the West Bank, threatened to leave the government if Israel continued to allow aid to enter Gaza.

According to him, opening a blockade of humanitarian aid including food and clean water entering Gaza which was hit by hunger did not benefit the Israeli side.

"If I was still in government regardless of everything, it might be because I had a strong reason to believe that positive things would happen soon," said the head of the Religious Zionism Party.

Smotrich reminded the public at the event that there was something wrong with Israel's military withdrawal from Gaza which was Palestinian territory in 2005. At that time, Gaza was controlled by 8,000 Israeli soldiers and illegal settlers.

"Who thought 20 years ago Gaza would be like it is now?" he asked the event participants.
