Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz has revealed that the Israeli government is still considering a plan to remove Palestinians from Gaza, despite US President Donald Trump freezing the proposal, according to a report by The Times of Israel. Katz stated that this "voluntary migration" is the only viable solution to the conflict.

He added that the United States has not abandoned the proposal, but merely frozen it, and that Israel is prepared to take control of Gaza "by sea, air and whatever means necessary" to implement the plan. However, he acknowledged that countries willing to accept displaced Palestinians would need US support and that Washington might eventually abandon the proposal.

Critics, including US Senator Chris Van Hollen, have condemned the plan, arguing that it could constitute ethnic cleansing and have warned that Israel's involvement could end.
