Israel is actively seeking the support of President Donald Trump to authorize a plan that involves the expulsion of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip. The country’s defence minister, Israel Katz, spoke about the strategy during a conference hosted by Ynet and Yedioth Ahronoth, The Guardian reported. He made it clear that the government is fully prepared to facilitate this movement, stating that the state is “organised and prepared to get them out by sea, by air, by every way possible”.
Katz believes that securing approval from the President is the missing piece of the puzzle to convince neighboring nations to accept Palestinian refugees. He argued that securing this support could shift regional perspectives in favor of forced resettlement. He noted that “Every country that is willing to take them in wants American backing,” and claimed that the idea has not been abandoned by the administration.
