The Israeli Defense Minister told its army to prepare a plan “to allow any resident in Gaza that he wants to leave to do so,” in line with President Donald Trump’s proposal to the United States to take over the region and resettle 2.1 million Palestinians elsewhere.
Israel Katz said that Ghazan should have had “freedom of movement and migration” and that the countries that criticize the Israeli war with Hamas were “obligated” to take it.
Meanwhile, Trump said Gaza would be “handed” to the United States by Israel “at the end of the fighting.”
But the Palestinian presidency repeated its rejection of the plan, which she said would violate international law, and insisted that “Palestine … is not for sale.”
The Israeli army launched a campaign to destroy Hamas in response to an unprecedented attack across the border on October 7, 2023, where about 1,200 people were killed and 251 grooves were taken.
More than 4,750 people have been killed and 11,600 people were wounded in Gaza since then, according to the Hamas Ministry of Health in the region.
Most of the people of Gaza were displaced several times, and approximately 70 % of its buildings were destroyed or destroyed.
Health, water, sewage, hygiene and hygiene systems collapsed and there is a lack of food, fuel, medicine and shelter.
The Israeli Defense Minister wrote on Thursday that he welcomed the “bold president’s initiative” of the American president, saying that it could “support the long -term reconstruction efforts in Gaza, free from the threat after Hamas.”
Katz announced that he had instructed the Israeli army to “prepare a plan that allows any resident in Gaza to leave, for any country he wants to receive.”
He said, “The plan will include exit options across land crossings, as well as special arrangements to leave through the sea and air,” he said.
“Countries like Spain, Ireland, Norway and others, which falsely accused Israel because of its actions in Gaza, are lawful to allow Jizan to enter their lands. Their hypocrisy will be exposed if they refuse.”
He claimed that Hamas was preventing the people who leave Gaza and said that they should have “the right to freedom of movement and immigration.”
The official base in Hamas accused Naim Katz of trying to cover up “a country that failed to achieve any of its goals in the war on Gaza” and said that the Palestinians would refuse to leave.
At the same time, a Palestinian presidential spokesman stressed that “Palestine, with its land, history and sacred locations, is not for sale.”
Nabil Abu Rodin also said that the Palestinians “will not abandon an inch of their land”, whether in Gaza or the occupied West Bank.
“The Palestinian people and their leadership will not be allowed to repeat disasters in 1948 and 1967, and it will frustrate any plan aimed at liquidating their just cause through investment projects that are not in Palestine or on its soil.”
“Nakba” in 1948, which means a “disaster” in Arabic, witnessed hundreds of thousands of Palestinians or leaving their homes before and during the war that followed the establishment of the State of Israel.
It ended with many of these refugees in Gaza, where they and their grandchildren are three quarters of the population. 900,000 other registered refugees live in the West Bank, which Israel occupied in the Middle East war in 1967 alongside Gaza, while 3.4 million others live in Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, according to the United Nations.
Unilaterally Israel withdrew its forces and settlers from Gaza in 2005, although it retained the control of its common borders, air field and coastal line, giving it effective control of the movement of people and goods. The United Nations still considers Gaza as an Israeli region to occupy it due to the level of control of Israel.
On Wednesday, the King of Jordan expressed his “rejection of any attempts to include the land or displacement of the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank,” while the Minister of Foreign Affairs in Egypt stressed the importance of reconstruction “without leaving the Palestinians to the Gaza Strip.”
Hamas – which is prohibited as a terrorist organization by Israel, the United States, the United Kingdom and other countries – said that Trump’s plan was “ridiculous” and would put oil on fire only in the region.
The United Nations Office for Human Rights has warned that any forced transfer in or deporting people from the occupied territories is completely prohibited under international law.
The United Nations Secretary -General also said that it is “necessary to avoid any form of ethnic cleansing” and stressed that Gaza will be an integral part of a Palestinian state in the future.
Antonio Guterres told a meeting in New York that the world “watched an ignorance and demonic for an entire people chilling.”
Trump revealed his plan for the United States to take over “long -term ownership” in Gaza and oversee its reconstruction during a visit to the White House by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday.
The President said that most of the Palestinians who live in Gaza will have to transfer them to achieve his vision to create “Riviera in the Middle East”, and that they will be shelter in Jordan, Egypt and other countries.
He said: “I hope we can do something they do not want to return to,” he said in previous notes in the Oval Office, where he talked about the resettlement of people “permanently.”
In the White House on Wednesday, Caroline Levit’s spokeswoman was asked to confirm whether all Palestinians who want to stay in Gaza will be allowed to do so.
“I can confirm that the president is committed to rebuilding Gaza and transferring those who are temporarily because … it is a site of demolition,” she replied, and it seems that it contradicts the president.
Foreign Minister Marco Rubio also said that the idea had to leave the region for a “temporary” period while clearing the debris and reconstruction.
On Thursday, Trump wrote on the social truth platform that Gaza “will hand it over to the United States at the end of the fighting.”
She stopped the ceasefire between Israel and the enthusiasm of war and aims to lead to a permanent end to fight.
He added: “It was possible to resettle the Palestinians … in safer and more beautiful societies, with new and modern houses, in the region. They will have already an opportunity to be happy, safe and free.”
The president also said that American soldiers will not be needed to maintain stability.
In an interview with Fox News on Wednesday, Israeli Prime Minister described Trump’s proposal as “wonderful” and something that must be “examined, followed and deed.”
Netanyahu also suggested that Ghazan be able to return, saying: “They can leave, then they can return, they can move and return, but you have to rebuild Gaza.”
