Israel's defence minister said the country is ready to expel Palestinians from Gaza once the United States identifies a location to receive them, according to Middle East Eye. He described forced displacement as essential to resolving the territory's status, stating "there is no real solution for Gaza in the end without this."
The comments mark a significant hardening of public statements by Israeli officials regarding the fate of Gaza's Palestinian population. No formal expulsion plan or timeline has been announced, and the proposal would require agreement from international partners on resettlement destinations.
