Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant has ordered the army to prepare a plan for the voluntary departure of residents from the Gaza Strip.
This directive follows US President Donald Trump’s announcement that the United States plans to take over Gaza, resettle Palestinians, and transform the territory.
Defence Minister Gallant welcomed Trump’s plan, stating that Gaza residents should have the freedom to leave and emigrate.
When asked which countries would accept the Palestinians, Gallant suggested nations that have opposed Israel’s military operations in Gaza, such as Spain, Ireland, Norway, and others.
Trump’s plan has faced criticism from world powers, including Russia, China, Germany, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, however, has expressed support for exploring Trump’s proposal.
