Israel has plans ready to remove Palestinians from the Gaza Strip but is waiting for the United States to figure out where to take them, the defence minister has said.
“There is no real solution for Gaza in the end without this migration,” Defence Minister Israel Katz told a conference hosted by Israeli news site Ynet and newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth on Wednesday.
The Israeli government “is organised and prepared to get them out – by sea, by air, by every way possible”, he said.
The US embassy referred requests for comment to the State Department in Washington.
US President Donald Trump, at the start of his second term, stunned much of the world by calling for all two million Palestinians to leave the Gaza Strip.
Trump spoke of developing the Mediterranean territory, devastated by Israeli bombardment since the October 7, 2023 attack by Hamas, into a luxury resort destination.
Trump walked back the idea following strong pushback, including from Egypt, the only country other than Israel to border Gaza.
