Defense Minister of Israel ordered the army to create a plan on Thursday to enable the “voluntary departure” of residents from Gaza after US President Donald Trump had a widespread conviction for the announcement of plans to take over the strip.
Defense Minister Israel Katz welcomed Trump’s announcement that the United States aims to take control of Gaza Strip, to reset the living there more than two million Palestinians and to transform the territory into the “Riviera of the Middle East”.
“I welcome President Trump’s bold plan, the residents of Gaza should be allowed to go and emigrate freedom, as well as the norm around the world,” said Katz on X.
Katz said his plan would include exit options for land crossings and special agreements for departure to sea and air.
The expulsion of the Palestinians is one of the most sensitive and explosive problems in the Middle East. Forced or forced expulsion of a population under the military occupation is a war crime that is banned as part of the Geneva Conventions of 1949.
Israeli strikes that have killed tens of thousands of people in the past 16 months have forced the Palestinians to move repeatedly within Gaza Strip to search for security.
But many say they will never leave the enclave because they fear permanent displacement, such as the “Nakba” or catastrophe, when hundreds of thousands of 1948 were expropriated from houses at the birth of the state of Israel.
Many were extended or fled to Gaza, in the West Bank and the Arab states, including Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, where their descendants still live in refugee camps. Israel denies the account that they have been forced.
Katz said that countries that have been identified against the military operations of Israel in Gaza should take over the Palestinians.
“Countries such as Spain, Ireland, Norway and others who have raised allegations and false claims against Israel because of his actions in Gaza, are legally obliged to allow a resident of Gaza to enter their areas,” he said.
“Your hypocrisy will be exposed if you reject this. There are countries like Canada with a structured immigration program that has previously been willing to accept gaza strips.”
Trump’s controversial idea, which triggered trouble in the Middle East, comes when it is expected that the Hamas of Israel and the militant group will begin talks about the second round of a fragile ceasefire to end almost 16 months of fighting in the Gaza Strip.
The plan from Katz includes exit options for land crossings as well as special agreements for departure to sea and air, reported the Israeli broadcaster Channel 12.
Trump’s plan condemned
Trump moved from the world powers of Russia, China and Germany on Wednesday, who said it would promote “new suffering and new hatred”.
The regional heavyweight -Saudi -Arabia rejected the proposal and Jordan’s king Abdullah, who will meet Trump in the White House next week, said on Wednesday that he rejected all attempts to grow land and to displace Palestinians.
In one post on X, the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that Trump’s plan was part of Israel’s attempt to “completely eradicate the Palestinian people”.
Trump’s plan “remarkable,” says Netanyahu
But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday that Trump’s proposal was “remarkable” and asked that he was being examined, even since he was not specific what he thought he was to offer Trump.
Netanyahu said he didn’t think Trump suggested to send us troops to combat Hamas in Gaza, or that Washington would finance the reconstruction of the efforts.
“This is the first good idea I heard,” he added. “It is a remarkable idea and I think it should really be persecuted, checked, persecuted and done because I think it will make a different future for everyone.”
The Hamas, who ruled the Gaza Strip before the war, said Trump’s proposal was “ridiculous and absurd”.
Top helper of the US President Donald Trump defend his takeover plan in Gaza, since critics -including the world leaders, UN civil servants and Palestinians himself -defend the idea.
Since January 25th, Trump has repeatedly proposed that the Palestinians in Gaza should be recorded by regional Arab nations such as Egypt and Jordan, an idea that is rejected by both the Arab states and Palestinian leaders. He has not given any details for his proposal to adopt Gaza.
Trump’s adjutants defended his proposal, but withdrew from this after international conviction of elements.
Right groups have Trump’s proposal to be permanently sold in the enclave in the enclave, condemned as an ethnic cleaning of Trump and at the same time proposed a US takeover of Gaza Strip.
The military attack of Israel on Gaza, which is now a fragile ceasefire, has killed more than 47,000 Palestinians in the past 16 months, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health, and has submitted accusations for genocide and war crimes that Israel contested.
The attack has repeatedly displaced internally near the Gaza population and caused a hunger crisis. The war was triggered by an attack on Israel led by Hamas, in which 1,200 people were killed and around 250 were taken hostage.
