On Saturday, the US ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, stated that there was no plan in place to force Palestinians out of Gaza. This came after Israeli ministers proposed ideas on how to expel the two million residents of the war-torn territory. Huckabee emphasized that the United States would support Palestinians who wished to leave, but stressed that "there is no plan of the Israelis to displace people out of Gaza against their will."
The ambassador's visit was made to Palestinian-Americans in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, where he listened to their grievances about repeated attacks by settlers.
