Smotrich called Palestinian nationalism a fiction, advocacy outlet Responsible Statecraft reported.

He urged Gazans to leave for Muslim states after a war killing over 74,000, per the outlet.

He appeared to back contractual US-Israeli integration inside the Pentagon, replacing direct aid from the US Congress, the outlet said.

He said there “cannot be any rights in the land of Israel for a people that do not exist.”

The conference is meeting in Israel during the third anniversary of the 7 October Hamas attacks.
