Israel Katzdefense Minister

I have instructed the IDF (military) to prepare a plan to enable voluntary departure for Gaza residents,

Katz said on Thursday, ... news agency

I really like what he said, but in my wildest dreams... it's hard for me to believe it will happen, but who knows,

said 65-year-old Refael from Jerusalem, as quoted by AFP

They can do whatever they want, but we will remain steadfast in our homeland,

said 41-year-old Gazan Ahmed Halasa

The Gaza Strip would be turned over to the United States by Israel at the conclusion of fighting,

Trump reiterated on his Truth Social platform on Thursday

Trump's remarks about Washington taking control of Gaza amount to an open declaration of intent to occupy the territory,

Qassem said, as quoted by AFP

Any forced displacement of people is tantamount to ethnic cleansing."

His spokesperson Stephane Dujarric stated

Those denouncing Trump's plan should step forward and provide a solution and answer to that problem."

According to

Keir Starmerbritish Prime Minister

They must be allowed home,

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Wednesday

In the search for solutions, we must not make the problem worse" by moving Palestinians out of Gaza

Guterres said

They would actually have a chance to be happy, safe, and free,

he wrote

The U.S., working with great development teams from all over the World, would slowly and carefully begin the construction of what would become one of the greatest and most spectacular developments of its kind on Earth."

But in his new comments, Trump said

It's not a liveable place for any human being,

she said

Any attempts to displace the Palestinians from their land as well as to continue illegal settlements would be a blatant violation of the international law, and undermine the peace and security of the entire region,

it said

If it were to transform into state policy, it would potentially amount to ethnic cleansing. And if done with intent, it would be forced displacement. And if that forced displacement was done as part of a systematic and widespread attack against the civilian population as a matter of state policy, it would actually be a crime against humanity,

he said

The people of Gaza should have the right to freedom of movement and migration,

he said in a statement on X, although it was clear that the journeys would only be in one direction

We spent a year and four months in the war and did not leave our country, so is it expected that we will leave it now?"

Abu Saad Al-Daada told NBC News' crew on the ground on Wednesday in Khan Younis

Itamar Ben-Gvirnational Security Minister

The real solution for Gaza is no longer dreams of 'reconstruction' and a return to the previous situation, but a fundamental change in reality,

Ben-Gvir, who has expressed support for the Israeli resettlement of Gaza, said in a post on X on Thursday

The plan will include exit options through land crossings, as well as special arrangements for departure by sea and air,

he added, branding Trump’s plan as “bold”.

The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it, too,

Trump said Tuesday evening in a joint press conference with Netanyahu

Level the site and get rid of the destroyed buildings, level it out, create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area,

he said
