President Trump proposed the United States take control of Gaza, sparking international outcry. Israeli Defence Minister Katz ordered the army to prepare a plan for Palestinians to leave Gaza voluntarily, sparking debate about potential displacement and the future of the region.
JER USA LEM - Israel 's defence minister ordered the army on Thursday to prepare for"voluntary" departures from Gaza , as President Donald Trump ruled out sending US troops to the territory.
Trump announced his proposal for Gaza to audible gasps on Tuesday at a press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the first foreign leader to meet him at the White House since his inauguration. Netanyahu on Thursday called Trump's proposal"the first original idea to be raised in years," adding it was"worth listening very well to this idea".
Palestinians residing in the coastal territory have vowed to remain. For them, any attempt to push them out of Gaza recalls the"Nakba", or"catastrophe" - the mass displacement of Palestinians during Israel's creation in 1948. Egypt, Qatar and the United States mediated the fragile 19 January ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Talks resumed this week for the second phase of the truce, expected to herald a more permanent end to the fighting.
