There you have it folks, the Israeli Foreign Minister Lieberman is making plans for back door expulsions.
Plan to transfer Arab-Israelis to new Palestinian state seeks legal approval | World news | theguardian.com
Israel's foreign minister, Avigdor Lieberman, has commissioned a confidential legal opinion that argues it would be legal under international law to transfer Arab-Israeli citizens to a new Palestinian state by shifting the border.
The internal foreign ministry document, leaked to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, makes clear that the controversial proposal, which the rightwing foreign minister has been promoting for some years, would only be in line with international law if executed with the consent of those being transferred, and if it did not leave any of those transferred without any kind of citizenship.
The opinion appears to have been commissioned to lay the legal groundwork for the so-called Lieberman plan – or "populated-area exchange plan" – which he first proposed in 2004. The idea is that Israel will retain Jewish areas in the West Bank in exchange for giving the Palestinian Authority populous Israeli Arab areas within Israel, including the Galilee Triangle and the Wadi Ara valley, which includes cities such as Umm el-Fahm. However, the plan is opposed strongly by many Israeli Arabs
