Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, reiterated on Sunday that Palestinians should have the option to leave Gaza voluntarily.
Addressing Jewish American organizations in Jerusalem, Netanyahu once again expressed support for United States, President Donald Trump’s proposal to resettle Palestinians outside Gaza.
“Give them a choice. Not forcible eviction. Not ethnic cleansing,” he stated.
Trump’s suggestion that Palestinians emigrate from Gaza, potentially to countries like Egypt and Jordan, has drawn widespread criticism, with some opponents arguing that it amounts to “ethnic cleansing.”
The U.S. president has also proposed a vision of rebuilding Gaza under American leadership, transforming it into what he described as the “Riviera of the Middle East.”
Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Netanyahu in Israel for discussions.
