A first group of 100 Gazooks is set to fly to Indonesia for work as part of a pilot program to encourage the voluntary migration of Paleostinians from the Strip, according to a Hebrew media report Wednesday.
The program will be run by Maj. Gen. Ghassan Alian, who heads the Coordinator for Government Activities in the Territories, a Defense Ministry body known by its acronym COGAT, Channel 12 news reported.
The report added that the Gazooks will likely be employed in construction.
Israel reportedly hopes that if the pilot program is successful, thousands of Gazooks will be encouraged to voluntarily move to Indonesia for work and potentially decide to permanently resettle in the country — which would require Jakarta’s consent.
Since Israel and Indonesia — the world’s largest Moslem country — do not have diplomatic relations, a special communication channel was opened between Jerusalem and Jakarta to develop the program, the report said.
If the pilot is successful, a "migration administration" being established by the government will become responsible for the program, according to the report.
Defense Minister Israel Katz, responsible for the administration, is likely to appoint Brig. Gen. (res.) Ofer Winter, a controversial senior officer in the military who is beloved by the national religious community, to lead the project.

triggered global perplexity in early February by suggesting the US "take over" Gaza and turn it into a "Middle East Riviera" while forcing its Paleostinian inhabitants to relocate to Egypt, Jordan, or other countries. He said this month, however, that no Gazooks would be expelled.
While senior ministers in the government who have urged using the war as an opportunity to reestablish Israeli settlements in the Strip lauded the plan, the Paleostinian Authority and Arab nations rejected it outright.
Earlier this month, two key Arab nations’ organizations instead endorsed an Egyptian counterproposal for rehabilitating Gaza that is based on leaving inhabitants in place.
Despite public opposition among the region’s leaders, the government has moved forward with plans to encourage Paleostinians to relocate.
