Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has once again voiced his support for former U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposal on Gaza, stating that Palestinians should be given the option to leave.
Speaking to Jewish American organizations in Jerusalem on Sunday, Netanyahu reiterated his stance, emphasizing that the plan does not involve forced eviction or ethnic cleansing but rather offers Palestinians a choice.
“Give them a choice. Not forcible eviction. Not ethnic cleansing,” Netanyahu stated.
Trump’s Gaza Plan Sparks Controversy
Trump’s proposal, which includes resettling Palestinians outside of Gaza—potentially in Egypt and Jordan—has faced heavy criticism, with many labeling it as ethnic cleansing.
The former U.S. president has also stated his intention to rebuild Gaza and transform it into the “Riviera of the Middle East”, under U.S. administration.
Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio recently met with Netanyahu in Israel to discuss the situation, though details of their meeting remain undisclosed.
International Backlash
Trump’s plan has been widely rejected by Middle Eastern nations, with countries like Jordan making it clear that they would not accept more Palestinian refugees.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has also strongly opposed the idea, calling it “absolutely unacceptable.”
As tensions continue to rise in the region, the fate of Gaza remains uncertain, with ongoing debates about its governance and the future of its people.
