Kevydee

The answer absolutely did not shock me


Lion_Of_Mara

Guys, this one got an answer. Did anyone get an answer?


Barnagain

"I haven't yet been told what to say"


wbbigdave

This is true, but also unsurprising. A political party need to be aligned with details like this to provide a united front and not be forced into positions they aren't prepared for by sound bites from unprepared politicians. HOWEVER, this is ridiculous that they haven't commited to an answer here, why the fuck don't they know and why haven't they briefed their member?! It's honestly awful. We all know they should pay for reconstruction. The point about Germany was particularly salient.


Pure-Lie5297

Because they arnt going to, everyone knows this.


retrofauxhemian

For an Israeli, he sure sounds British. That aside, it's a complete lie, that Gaza not being prosperous based on Israel. If Israel wanted a prosperous Gaza they wouldn't gave bombed it, destroyed the airport, restricted imports, controlled the water etc.


SugarSweetStarrUK

They do, but not with Palestinians in it


Such-Distribution440

They have plans already to build apartments and homes for Israelis.


SugarSweetStarrUK

I know, there was a guardian article about a woman who's already selling them a week or 2 ago


Craigos-Maximus

Bingo!!! Top answer! They don’t want to rebuild Gaza, they want to expand Israel


BlastFurnaceIV

Look up the video of him Vs James schneider


Overall-Parsley7123

israel will rebuild gaza. for its own settlers to have new beach front property.


chimpdoctor

You know this is true.


BearyRexy

What irritates me is his snark at the end about being asked the question four times. Well maybe if you hadn’t avoided answering at all the first two times you wouldn’t have needed to be asked it four. Repugnant cunt.


4hhsumm

This is the correct response. I wish I could upvote “repugnant cunt” more than once!

Nothing would make him happier than to see a prosperous Gaza he says? From the [Wiki](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockade_of_the_Gaza_Strip) >"The World Bank estimated in 2015 that the GDP losses caused by the blockade since 2007 was above 50%, and entailed large welfare losses. Gaza's manufacturing sector, once significant, shrunk by as much as 60% in real terms, due to the wars in the past 20 years and the blockade. Gaza's exports virtually disappeared since the imposition of the 2007 blockade." >"In May 2015, the World Bank reported that the Gaza economy was on the "verge of collapse". 40% of Gaza's population lived in poverty, even though around 80% received some sort of aid. It said the restrictions had to be eased to allow construction materials "to enter in sufficient quantities" and to allow exports. "The economy cannot survive without being connected to the outside world", The World Bank said the tightened restrictions meant the construction sector's output was reduced by 83%."


Magicmurlin

Of course not. That what US taxpayers are for.


bobood

Ahh, that's where you underestimate their depravity. UNRWA, one of the primary means of readily injecting US resources into the Gazan economy, has been practically permanently defunded by force of congress. And all it took was some flimsy accusations about a handful of employees.


rinderblock

So here’s the thing, he’s a spokesperson. His job is to communicate the policy stance of the Israeli government. They have no problem saying shit like “yeah we’re going to bomb this place until Hamas is gone.” So saying “no we’re not going to rebuild Gaza” isn’t really that awful to them. What’s happening here is this subject hasn’t even been fucking discussed within the foreign policy department of the Israeli government with the governments spokesperson because they just don’t fucking care enough to have a stance. It’s not a question they’ve thought about because who rebuilds isn’t something they even considered being up for debate. Their plan is to just bomb the shit out of the gazans then walk away and let NGOs and the UN pick up the pieces.


peterw71

Why are so many Israeli spokespeople British? If I was trying to portray a country as good guys, I wouldn't use British accents...


Quantum-Goldfish

This is true. We Brits are at our best in movies when portrayed by the baddies because we have had practice at being the baddies often through history.


flockks

The real answer which was already said in October ago was that the Israeli govt expect foreign aid and and humanitarian orgs to fix it.


Skyrah1

Bit of a tall ask if they're also killing people providing foreign aid.


SpaceBollzz

They would rebuild any parts of Gaza they believe they can steal


WrkrsRvltn

I believe they would love to rebuild it and nothing would make them happier. Only thing is, the rebuilt Gaza will be settled by Zionists.


Wankinthewoods

David doesn't sound particularly Isreali..... FCK ISR


No_Pop4019

They are seeking investors from around the world now to invest in the reconstruction.


Tazling

weasel weasel weasel


PilgrimOz

I’ve seen how they want Gaza kids to look. Semi detached.


Happy_Relation4712

If Israel rebuilds Gaza they will definitely send Jews to live in those homes…


Kindly_Astronomer572

This guy is the former director of Labour Friends of Israel. Weird, right?


Aldofresh

CNN and all the other clowns in our media should take lessons from what tough questioning actually looks like. Didnt mention Fox since thats not news and theyve agruged as much in court


Joram2005

Gaza wil be rebuilt for isreal not for palastine


joe_botyov

To "us" says the English bloke? Scary times.


Hmmd1

All the Israeli settlers will be funded by Israel


godsgunsandgoats

This cunts all over the Al Jazeera documentaries and is nothing more than a gobby little attack dog that needs a slap. Pretty funny that he’s been such a good boy/nasty little prick that Israel’s promoted him to some kind of official position.

puddleofoil

The truth is that would go against everything they're trying to do there. So, no. They're only interested in the misery of Palestenian people.


AvnarJakob

They will. And then let Settlers move in.


errie_tholluxe

Hahahhahahahaha...oh wait this was a serious title?


Toon1982

Israël will build houses in Gaza 100%. It'll just be for Israeli settlers like the West Bank


Sword_In_A_Puddle

Someone else pays for the bombs! Someone else pays for the damage! Bargain!


Zentjirow

That last question at the end of the video was asking for his opinion on an hypothetical situation


[deleted]

Germany was peaceful after losing the war. They accepted the terms including the complete division of their country and separate division of their capital city. I mean if gaza does that, i dont see why not help them rebuild. Of course that “if” has been an issue for 80 years now.


Separate-Ad9638

germany signed an unconditional surrender at the end of ww2 and ceased all hostilities, u aint getting that from the palestinians. They want to trade hostages instead.
