Ben-Gurion's Gaza Wish
Israeli documents revealed that in 1956 David Ben-Gurion wished that “the Gaza Strip would sink into the sea,” because he considered it an obstacle and a problem difficult to deal with under any administration. He believed that controlling it would impose a heavy cost on Israel, including suppressing acts of violence and dealing with around 300,000 additional Arabs, and could undermine its security and its moral right to exist. He also warned that future wars would claim civilian lives, including those of women and children, and would not resolve the Arab-Israeli conflict.
