Widow of Be'eri security officer: "Start saying no to the Americans and yes to the Jews"
Sigal Kraunik, widow of the Be'eri security officer, spoke out on 103FM against the plan to transfer Gaza's management to a national committee. She called for promoting the emigration of Gazans and warned that another arrangement could allow the return of terror.
The 'Peace Council' has published a framework for the rehabilitation of the Gaza Strip: according to the document, within 14 days of approval by both sides, a plan will be launched to transfer all civil and security authorities to the 'National Committee for the Management of Gaza'. Sigal Kraunik, widow of the late Arik Kraunik, who served as the security officer of Kibbutz Be'eri and fell on October 7, discussed this with Ben Caspit and Yinon Magal on 103FM radio and expressed her outrage.
"It saddens me that we are even bringing this to the agenda: the State of Israel must start learning to say 'no' to the Americans and start saying 'yes' to the Jews. We have tried for so many years, so many agreements, but did anyone stop for a second and ask the Gazans if they want peace with us? They are not interested in living with us, and they do not want any arrangement," Kraunik said.
She wondered: if the world cares so much about the Gazans, let it take responsibility for them. She suggested that every country could take a part of the population to get them out of the Strip.
"They are not interested in living with us, and it annoys me that the 'Peace Council' is moving us away from the clear goal. The first goal is for them to emigrate from here, and the second goal is for the entire Jewish people to live here in peace and security," added the resident of Kibbutz Be'eri. She recalled that President Donald Trump previously promised to allow the emigration of Gazans.
When asked which country would be willing to absorb the Gazans, she replied: "I heard that there are over thirty countries that have held negotiations with them. I returned from a two-week mission in Africa, and it seems to me that there is enough room to relocate everyone there."
Kraunik also spoke about the plans to resettle the kibbutz: "We are supposed to return in August 2027, and it shakes the souls of the children who want to return." Regarding her neighbors in the Gaza Strip, she said: "I have no faith in them; they stand with a list of conditions that will only advance them to commit more terror."
