The Israeli Defense Minister said on Thursday that he ordered the Israeli army to formulate a plan to allow Jazan to leave the pocket voluntarily, a step that comes after President Trump’s proposal to resettle the enormous resettlement of the Palestinians and seize the US -led region.
It was unclear whether the proposal would be implemented, as the Israeli authorities hope that Ghazan would go, or the number of people who imagined would leave them.
But Israel, the defense minister, praised the initiative of Mr. Trump, saying that it “could allow a large population in Gaza to leave for various places in the world.”
Mr. Katz said that his plan to invade the pocket will include “the exit options across land crossings, in addition to special arrangements to leave through the sea and air.” He did not mention whether they would be allowed to return home after the war.
On Tuesday evening, Mr. Trump argued that nearly two million Palestinians in Gaza should leave during a joint press conference with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from Israel.
He also suggested that “assuming” the United States “takes over” and “owning” the Gaza Strip, although the administration officials later tried to alleviate its comments.
The plan has sparked angry opposition in most parts of the world, and some critics have argued that the moves may rise to the level of ethnic cleansing if implemented.
“It is imagination that ethnic cleansing in the twenty-first century can be overlooked”, “Turki Al-FAISAL, former Saudi intelligence chief, He said In an interview on Wednesday with CNN. He added: “The problem in Palestine is not the Palestinians – it is the Israeli occupation.”
In destructive Gaza, many pledged to stay despite hunger, cold and fear of renewed fighting between Israel and Hamas. Both sides are currently watching a six-week truce-the first stage of the ceasefire deal by Qatar, Egypt and the United States-and not there to ensure the period you will keep.
However, Mr. Trump’s statements have already prompted the celebrations between the right of the extremist Israel, many of whom were issued in the so -called “voluntary immigration” as a solution to the conflict with the Palestinians.
In the weeks that followed Hamas on October 7, 2023, the attack sparked the war, and the pressure of Mr. Netanyahu’s aides on its allies, including the United States and the United Kingdom, to pressure Egypt to recognize hundreds of thousands of civilians.
Israel’s partners have greatly rejected the proposal, partly because they fear that the Israeli authorities will not allow Gazans to return to their homes after the war.
The senior members of the government of the coalition of Mr. Netanyahu publicly called on Israel to rule the territories indefinitely and build the Jewish settlements there.
Many modern wars were born waves of refugees. But Ghazan, unusually, was mostly trapped inside the Palestinian pocket with a little exit.
More than 100,000 left in the first few months of the war before Israel, the border crossing with Egypt, with the closure of the gate. This left nearly two million in the Gaza Strip, many of whom were displaced and lived in tents.
Many Palestinians resisted the departure: The mass displacement of their parents and grandparents in the wars surrounding Israel in 1948 is still one of their greatest collective shocks.
But neighboring countries, such as Egypt and Jordan, also did not show great interest in taking it, and treating them as an economic burden and a source of possible local turmoil.
During an interview with Fox News on Wednesday evening, Mr. Netanyahu said that the Palestinians can “move and return” if necessary. “The actual idea of allowing the invasion who want to leave to leave – I mean, what is the mistake in that?” He said. “They can leave, they can return after that.”
Mr. Katz, the Israeli Minister of Defense, argued that countries like Spain and Norway, who were criticizing Israel’s behavior of the war in Gaza, are obligated to take it, otherwise their hypocrisy will be exposed. ”
Jose Manuel Albarris, Foreign Minister of Spain, seemed to drop the idea in an interview with the country’s public broadcaster Thursday morning.
“The land of Ghazanz is Gaza and that Gaza should be part of the future Palestinian state,” He said Mr. Albaris.
