Ben-Gurion’s Gaza warning
Historical documents published by the Israeli military archive have revealed warnings issued by David Ben-Gurion in 1957 that continued control of the Gaza Strip could lead to international isolation and undermine Israel’s moral legitimacy. He noted that around 300,000 Arabs lived in the Strip, including 180,000 to 190,000 Palestinian refugees, and warned of growing resistance and repression, as well as the possibility that Israel could be denied arms in a future war. Despite the security risks, he rejected annexing Gaza and assuming responsibility for its residents. The documents show that earlier Israeli leaders understood the political, humanitarian and security consequences of retaining the Strip.
