Israeli genocide of Gaza may be motivated by Palestine's maritime natural gas reserves and desire to "wipe Gaza off the map"

Back in 2013, it was reported that Israel was "set to become a major exporter of gas and some oil" at some point in the future, but only if "all goes to plan." We now know a little more about what that plan actually entails: the total annihilation of the Palestinian people and the seizing of the rest of their land. Israel's longtime plan, which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been salivating over for many years, includes clearing out Gaza and confiscating all of the maritime offshore gas reserves, worth billions of dollars, that exist off its coastline. One thing Israel really wants to get its hands on are Gaza's offshore natural gas reserves, and specifically those tied to what BG (the BG Group) found in 1999, as well as the discoveries of Levant in 2013. A "secret" memorandum authored by Israel's Ministry of Intelligence "is recommending the forcible and permanent transfer of the Gaza Strip's 2.2 million Palestinian residents to Egypt's Sinai Peninsula." Dated Oct. 13, 2023, the 10-page document linked above bears the official logo of the Israeli Intelligence Ministry, recommending a full population transfer of everyone currently living in the Gaza Strip to a new concentration camp in the Sinai Peninsula. This would allow Israel to not only annex the land but also steal the lucrative fossil fuel resources that exist there. You can access the complete document in English here.

Israel wants the Giant Leviathan natural gas field, and is willing to commit genocide against millions of people to steal it

A 2013 analysis of what was known even back then about Israel's plan focused on the December 2010 discovery of the Giant Leviathan natural gas field, located in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, including directly off the coast of Gaza. These gas reserves were technically discovered even earlier, back in 1999 by British Gas, a company that belongs to Palestine. However, Israel continues to claim Gaza as its own, even though it has yet to fully eradicate its people. "While Israel claims them as her very own treasure, only a fraction of the sea's wealth lies in Israel's bailiwick as maps," reads a portion of the 2013 analysis of the Levant gas reserves situation. "Much is still unexplored, but currently Palestine's Gaza and the West Bank between them show the greatest discoveries." Fast-forward to 2023, and Israel is finally pouncing, as long planned under "Operation Cast Lead," an Israeli invasion of Gaza that began in 2008 and that now appears to be in its final stages. "The underlying objective is the outright military occupation of Gaza by Israel's IDF forces and the expulsion of Palestinians from their homeland," one report explains, adding that "there are powerful financial interests which stand to benefit from Israel's criminal undertaking (genocide) directed against Gaza." In 2021 and 2022 when the world was, by design, focused on the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) scamdemic, Israel was involved in "secret bilateral talks" with Egypt about "the extraction of natural gas off the coast of the Gaza Strip." Egypt reportedly "succeeded in persuading Israel to start extracting natural gas off the coast of the Gaza Strip," though we now know that Egypt does not want any of the roughly 2.2 million Palestinians who live in the Gaza strip to be relocated to its land. Instead, we are told that all these new refugees will need to be resettled in Europe – or as Nikki Haley recently suggested for Americans, to your neighborhood.
