4. Go away, be killed, or be subjugated.

Those are the 3 options under Smotrich's "Decisive Plan".

According to Smotrich, West Bank Arabs can respond in three possible ways. They can (a) accept their status as Israel’s subjects; (b) emigrate; or (c) resist violently. In the latter case, the IDF will take aggressive action to suppress opposition and achieve decisive military control. Suffice it to say that Smotrich’s analysis completely ignores the views of Israel’s senior military experts regarding the Palestinians.

Really interesting article from a retired IDF Major General about the implications of this folly for Israel.
