‘Israeli’ Defense Minister Israel Katz said ‘Israel’ continues to seek the removal of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, describing the depopulation of the territory as the “only solution.”
Speaking at a conference organized by the ‘Israeli’ publication Ynet, Katz said US President Donald Trump had not abandoned his proposal to remove Palestinians from Gaza, but had instead “frozen it.”
Katz said the proposal remains under discussion and that ‘Israel’ would need US support to implement it.
Katz also acknowledged that Egypt has refused to receive Palestinians displaced from the Gaza Strip.
Trump previously backed a proposal to remove Palestinians from Gaza and place the territory under US control. He later supported a ceasefire agreement that stipulated that Palestinians would not be forcibly displaced from the Gaza Strip.
Palestinian rights advocates have warned that proposals aimed at depopulating the Gaza Strip could constitute ethnic cleansing and violate international law.
