On a podcast broadcast on August 2, Israel's finance minister and far-right politician Smoltrikh actually claimed that “there is no such thing as a 'Palestinian' at all, and there has never been such a concept in history. It is fictional and is aimed at confronting Israel.” Smotrich also stated that he hoped Israel would conquer the entire Gaza Strip and establish military administration to allow the Jews to resettle in order to achieve the so-called “complete victory.”
