Thus in 1948, Yosef Weitz, head of the Jewish Agency Population Transfer Committee, met with military and intelligence officers, and said, “…must direct our war towards the removal of as many Arabs as possible from the boundaries of our state. The guarding of their property after their removal is a secondary question.”
He also presented to them a plan of transfer, “I made a summary of a list of the Arab villages which in my opinion must be cleared out in order to complete Jewish regions. I also made a summary of the places that have land disputes and must be settled by military means.”. |
