The proposal has not been finalized, but Israel is preparing a plan to expel Palestinians from Gaza. Defense Minister Israel Katz ordered the army to prepare a plan to enable the "voluntary relocation of the population from the Gaza Strip," following statements by US President Donald Trump about the evacuation and reconstruction of the war-torn enclave.

This is reported by the media of the Jewish state. "The population in Gaza must be allowed to enjoy freedom of movement and immigration," Katz emphasizes. At the same time, the minister claims that the proposal for the reconstruction of a demilitarized Gaza, in the post-Hamas era, will be implemented, "a project that will take many years to complete," writes A2 CNN.

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and offered the US's full support as he called for innovative solutions for Gaza. Meanwhile, international media are reporting that the Trump administration is evaluating three possible areas to house refugees from the Palestinian enclave, after the president presented his plan, as he said, to transform Gaza into the Riviera of the Middle East. After rejection by Egypt and Jordan, countries such as Morocco, Somaliland and Puntland are now being evaluated. What these options have in common, according to reports, is the strong need for US support, as the two territories are seeking international recognition and Morocco has a territorial dispute over Western Sahara.

However, Iran has become the latest country to categorically reject Trump's plan to expel Palestinians, which has been condemned by the entire Arab world, the European Union, China, Russia and Britain. Seeing the reactions it has provoked, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has rushed to clarify that Trump's plan for Gaza should not be taken as a hostile move.

"It's clear that people need to live somewhere else while reconstruction happens. But what Trump has offered with great generosity is the removal of bombs, the restoration of infrastructure, the rebuilding of homes and businesses, so that people can return," Rubio stressed. The move has been read as a tactical US withdrawal from the plan. (A2 Televizion)
