JERUSALEM – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shared his support for US President Donald Trump’s plan to help Palestinians living in Gaza. On Sunday, during a meeting with Jewish American groups in Jerusalem, Netanyahu said he believes Palestinians should have the option to leave Gaza, but only as a choice, not by force.
What is Trump’s Plan?
Trump’s plan suggests that Palestinians living in Gaza could move to other places like Egypt or Jordan if they want to, as part of a bigger plan to reshape the region. However, some people have criticized this idea, saying it could be “ethnic cleansing,” which means forcing people to leave their homeland because of their ethnicity or race.
What Did Netanyahu Say?
Netanyahu made it clear that this idea isn’t about forcing Palestinians to leave, but rather giving them the choice. He emphasized that it’s important to make sure it’s not a case of “forcible eviction” or “ethnic cleansing.”
Trump’s Big Dream for Gaza
President Trump has big plans for Gaza. He wants the US to help rebuild Gaza and turn it into a beautiful, wealthy area that he called the “Riviera of the Middle East.” This would mean improving the living conditions for the people living there, especially if they decide to move.
Who Else Is Involved?
Earlier, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio also met with Netanyahu in Israel to discuss the plan and other important matters.
What’s Next?
There are a lot of opinions on this plan, and not everyone agrees. Some think it could be a good way to improve life for Palestinians, while others worry it could cause problems. There will be more talks and decisions in the future to see how this plan moves forward.
