  "summary": "Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has stated that Israel is prepared to facilitate the emigration of Palestinians from Gaza \"by any means\" as soon as the US provides a destination for them. Katz claims that 80%, according to The Times of Israel, of Palestinians in Gaza want to leave, but no country is willing to accept them.\n\nIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has visited Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip, vowing not to withdraw troops despite international pressure for a ceasefire and a US-backed plan calling for their withdrawal. Netanyahu stated that Israel controls 60% of the Strip and will not retreat, citing the need to eliminate terrorist threats from Hamas.\n\nKatz's comments on emigration were made as Israel continues to target Palestinians it claims are militants, despite a US-brokered ceasefire. The US had previously proposed a plan for the Gaza Strip, which included no forced displacement, but Katz's statements suggest that Israel is exploring alternative solutions.",
