Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz
On February 6, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz held an assessment with defense officials regarding plans to allow Palestinians to “voluntarily” leave the Gaza Strip in line with a plan recently proposed by United States President Donald Trump.
Katz met with outgoing Israeli Defense FOrces (IDF) Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi, director general of the ministry and incoming chief of staff Maj. Gen. (res.) Eyal Zamir, and several other top officers.
“I instructed the IDF to prepare a plan that would allow any resident in Gaza that would be interested, to leave for anywhere in the world that would agree to absorb them,” Katz said in a video statement.
“The plan will include options to leave through the land crossings, and special arrangements for exit through the sea and the air,” he added.
Just two days earlier, Trump declared his desire for the U.S. to “take over” and “own” Gaza after relocating more than two million Palestinians who live there.
“The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it too. We’ll own it,” Trump said in prepared remarks at the start of a joint press conference with visiting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“We will be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site, [for] get[ting] rid of the destroyed buildings, level[ing] it out, creat[ing] an economy development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing to the people of the area,” he continued
“[We’ve got to] do something different. You just can’t go back. If you go back, it’s going to end up the same way it has been for 100 years,” he added, noting that other leaders in the region backed his idea.
“It should not go through a process of rebuilding and occupation by the same people that have… lived there and died there and lived a miserable existence there,” Trump said of Gaza, adding that he planned to visit the Strip as well as Israel and Saudi Arabia.
Much of Gaza, including nearly all of its infrastructure, have been destroyed by the IDF following the Hamas-led surprise October 7 attack of 2023. Senior Israeli officials, including Netanyahu, have repeatedly stated that they will not allow the group to rule over the Strip.
Trump insisted the Palestinians “have no alternative” but to leave the “big pile of rubble” that is Gaza after over 15 months of Israeli bombardment.
The president reiterated his belief that Palestinians should be removed from the “hellhole” of the Strip and placed in one or multiple other countries “with humanitarian hearts.”
“Gaza is a hellhole right now. It was before the bombing started, frankly, and we’re going to give people a chance to live in a beautiful community that’s safe and secure,” he said.
“I don’t want to be cute, I don’t want to be a wise guy,” Trump said and then referred to Gaza as potentially “the Riviera of the Middle East. This could be something that could be so magnificent.”
Asked whether American troops would be sent to Gaza, Trump said, “As far as Gaza is concerned, we’ll do what is necessary. If it’s necessary, we’ll do that.”
Earlier, Trump suggested that Palestinians would be relocated from Gaza to Egypt and Jordan. However, both countries refused the proposal, which led to international condaminations. All Palestinian sides also appeared to be against the plan.
Doubling down on the problematic proposal, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on February 6 that Gaza currently is “not habitable” due to dangers, such as unexploded weapons, and that people will have to live elsewhere while the area is rebuilt.
Answering a reporter’s question during a visit to the Dominican Republic, Rubio said that other countries should step forward and offer to help rebuild Gaza. However, he stopped short of clarifying whether Palestinians would be able to return to the Strip under Trump’s proposal to take over the area.
“I think that’s just a realistic reality, that in order to fix a place like that, people are going to have to live somewhere else in the interim,” Rubio said.
Rubio noted Trump’s controversial remarks were aimed in part to encourage other countries that “have both the economic and technological capacity” to help as well with rebuilding.
“President Trump has offered to go in and be a part of that solution. If some other countries are willing to step forward and do it themselves, that would be great, but no one seems to be rushing forward to do that,” he said.
He added that “countries in the region who express a lot of concern about the Palestinian people” should “find a solution and answer to their problem.”
Overall, Trump’s proposal appears to be very serious. Israel is already on board and while Arab states have voiced their rejection, some pressure from the U.S. could force them to support the plan. Palestinian parties, including Hamas, will not likely accept the perusal. However, many people in Gaza, which endured much during the war with more than 47,000 casualties, will likely comply as they are exhausted.

damn smh 🤦
perhaps there will be “resettlement in the east.” chumpo is a good little goy whore who will do as he is told by his zio masters.
great … the idea of gaza being turned into paradise on earth. maybe erdogan & syria’s transitional president ahmed al-sharaa can run the place .. peace for all ..!!!
nah they will be offered a dirt cheap luxury vacation apartment in the new mediterranean luxury vacation location where your next door neighbour might be zelensky and pillowbiter starmer, and nazi-protege kaja kallas und so weiter!
wunderbar! wie grossmutig!
well the palestinians danced about demanding to drive the israelis into the sea. october 7th was monstrous machinations of joe bidens making imo and he will be pleased because either way one or the other settlements based on religious or ethnic identity has succumbed to violence. imo. cause “nothing is what it seems”. qe2
october 7 was a well planned and well executed military operation against military targets. 320 zio troops killed. 59 paramilitary police killed. unfortunately the undisciplined zio tik tok lgbt army wet its knickers and panicked and plastered the area with heavy weapons, killing 318 zio settlers.
zionists still running amok doing as they please.
because too many of us are shabbosgoy traitors not doing what is necessary to break free from the jewish menace. the jews are the devil and there is only one solution do to them what they are planning to do with us.
it was a well exicuted ai pantomime and oppertunity for bibi to kill his detractors. but, believe what you like.
all the israhellis should be resettled in any country stupid enough to take them. maybe antarctica or chumpo’s greenland.
i was thinking that once the hostages are removed that iran and russia with “briics” support can genocide the settlers for game, set, match?… but some announced changes at the kremlin would have to take place in order for that to happen!…
fundamental ideological changes with a personnel cleanout similar to musk’s purge of us depts and agencies. can’t see it.
ukraine is the place for them. make what’s left of ukraine khazaria 2.0.
and putin is showing his hand in that coming to fruition every day!…
i would say the sun, nice and cozy warm!!!
america supplies 40 billion to it’s smaller zionist enclave to genocide palestinians. they then pretend to be the saviors by annexing gaza for israel in the name of america. they pretend to americans they will not pay to rebuild but then begin rebuilding by clearing the devastation they directly caused. the deep state is the zionist americans and they will destroy americans when the time comes.
american and zionist ideology go hand in hand 🤝 deep state zionist americans and americans fuck 1776 how bout that.
they already destroyed america. the usa is more like a third world country then a modern country like china.
no city in the usa has safe modern public transportation or thriving industry like chinese cities have.
as an american “and not a native one”, the “trail of tears” which lasted between 1830 and 1850 has a sister 185 years later. and just like what pale face did 185 years ago, those #s of indigenous and more importantly semites will be exterminated with the actual numbers leaving without a trace… that’s genocide folks!…
and post 9/11… the world wants to know president putin why you needlessly prolonged the war in ukraine and vacated syria???… all those families of dead russian volunteers want to know about the deals that you made in earnest were that buys your silence!… mr. putin “tear down these lies”!!!
for mr putin to ‘tear down those lies’ as you quote, may unfortunately expose him to what t.s. eliot referred to when he penned ‘the hollow men’ in 1925. then again, if anything’s amiss, it’s up to the russians to sort it out.
putins generation loves the west. they never wanted to fight the west and deliberately made the army small and non threatening so they couldn’t easily fight. that is why he is always trying to negotiate and everything with the military is minimal effort.
there were 500 plus significant native tribes. most of them have been long forgotten, like the pequods. others have not. everybody has heard of the sioux and the apache – because they fought back. they were all exterminated, but they will always be remembered. 200 years from now people will still have heard of hamas and hezbollah. we all have to die, but the actions taken in life echo throughout eternity. .who will care about low life scum like chumpo, starmer, schulz 200 years from now?
give them the option to resettle to the usa and i bet more than half of them will leave asap. wait several months and then deport them all back to arabia.
yair from miami has entered the chat ! 💩💩💩=🇮🇱
i like the idea of muslim immigrants, they will vote for politicians that will want to end the funding of israel. its a win win situation.
if the palestinians are smart, the only ones leaving would be suicide bomber lone wolves that go to western nations, build improvisational explosives, and blow up zionists wherever they can find them.
once they leave, they’re not coming back anyway.
it is better for them to vote for candidates that will eliminate funding for israel. that is the easy, smart way to do it.
i read in moon of alabama the gaza pop went from about 2.3 to 1.8 million. how many left? how many killed?
i’m not expert but 49,000 dead seems amazingly low considering their water, electric, food was cut. plus all their buildings bombed to rubble. how only 49,000 died is beyond me.
ah, but “one million arab lives are not worth a jewish finger nail.” the zio prime minister can explain it all to you.
i would hope my leader would feel the same towards my enemies.
what makes me sick is it usually seems my leadership usually likes my enemies more then they like me.
about 16 months with electricity, food and water cut and only 49,000 dead? plus the insanely high amount of ordnance dropped. many times more tnt then usa dropped on hiroshima.
i’m not expert but i would guess that 4 or 5 hundred thousand dead is a more realistic number.
even if there was a permanent ceasefire, right now, the attrition rate would continue to rise with disease and malnutrition figuring highly, particularly amongst what’s left of the very young. these perverted yhids richly deserve nuking.
the world is watching the jews stealing land which belongs tonthe palestinians. and only a few dare tp say squat, e g ireland .the eu members bow and kow tow tonthe nazi-priness von der lugen despite the fact that she’s been a catastrophy for the eu. the jews need to be evicted from palestine post haste or buried at 6 feet returning palestine to its owners. it would be the first time in more than 100 years you would see a happy middle east.
nothing belongs to the goyim. the jews ruined my old neighborhood too. i was displaced. you move.
it is stupid to die fighting for real estate the jews and their banks control.
what neighborhood is this?
if they let the people go, save the kids before its too late or israel changes its mind and goes back to carpet bombing. better to escape and carry on the truth of what happened then be completely wiped out. land is land, buildings are buildings, they can be replaced but children are the future, for their sake, start packing.
a large number leaving would probably assist hamas to more effectively defend gaza and its patriots. hezbollah doesn’t matter; it is lost.
when i see israel issue legal titles giving complete property and development rights to the palestinian people, i would still never believe to chosen-ites, the israeli cradle to grave cult indoctrination is sickness
the genocidal thiving jews are about to close the steal of palestine made possible by the pillowbiting brits about a hundred years ago. will it never be permitted by the world society and should mankind hurry to bury the jews to the very last one of them to achive some peace and tranquility which the jews never have allowed!
the jews have ruined everything, the ruined the usa, canada, austalia, new zealand, the uk, irealand, and the eu. they ruined russia too. no one cared when they came for me, so what ever about the palis.
i think it is great those people might get a chance at a normal life and not be used as weapons and targets. the entire levant is a shittydesert, nothing worth dying for.
i don’t feel sorry for either group, i’m not allowed to have an ethnic nation state, i have to put up with foreigners and the multicult. i don’t see why the jews and arabs can’t put with each other either. i don’t understand why they can’t pay their own bills and stop mooching off other people. the whole never ending war just seems like a grift to rip off western taxpayers.
after syria, egypt and jordan are next for the chop. the ziocon stooges sisi and abdullah will be overthrown and have to hit the road like assad. those countries will be allowed to descend into chaos, using their isis/ moslem brotherhood proxies as a tool. all part of oded yinon, nakba mark two. zelensky will suffer the same fate shortly, along with all the eu satraps.
trump no let me leave amerikunt cesspool cuz i am senile pedophile
latest headline out of the mouth and a$$ of m0lach himself –
“netanyahu suggests palestinians can have a state in saudi arabia” reading between the lines… we made you filthy rich starting 70 years ago. now it’s time for us to collect the interest on that principal from you so that we can steal the next biggest tranche of oil and gas in the me by giving you 6 million semites to feed, clothe and educate on your “dime”!…
