Avida Bachar, who lost his wife Dana and son Carmel in the October 7, 2023 massacre, calls for the expulsion of all residents of the Gaza Strip. In an interview with Ido Tauber on Channel 14's midday journal, he said that every day in the square they should shout that they are not willing to live near Gaza residents. Bachar claimed that three years after the massacre, residents of the Gaza envelope are waiting for their 'next massacre,' and the illusion that one can live alongside the Strip has collapsed. He defined victory in Gaza as 'there is not a single human being and not a single house there, and I would get rid of the palm trees.' Bachar added that living alongside the Strip is not 'a decree from heaven' but a choice. In the interview, he also shared about the daily commemoration process of his family and the longing that does not fade over time.
