A controversial plan to relocate Palestinians from Gaza was discussed by Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu during their meeting at the White House. This proposal, which has drawn criticism for potentially involving forced displacement, was a central topic during their dinner conversation. The meeting occurred as indirect US-led negotiations between Israel and Hamas in Qatar continued, seeking a 60-day ceasefire to end the ongoing conflict. Netanyahu expressed optimism about finding countries willing to host Palestinians, framing the plan as providing them with a better future. Trump also supported the idea, claiming cooperation from neighboring countries. The concept of ‘voluntary migration,’ as termed by Israel, has been widely condemned as ethnic cleansing. Despite the public statements, the practical implementation of the relocation plan remains unclear. Critics have pointed out that such a plan could undermine any future peace agreement in Gaza. Simultaneously, ceasefire talks in Qatar involve prisoner exchanges, Israeli withdrawals, and broader peace talks. Netanyahu, however, has rejected the establishment of a full Palestinian state.
