“Israel’s defense minister said Thursday that he had instructed his military to prepare a plan to allow Palestinians to voluntarily leave the Gaza Strip, after his country’s leadership embraced President Donald Trump’s widely condemned remarks in which he said the United States may seek ownership of the territory,” NBC News reports.
Meanwhile, Trump doubled down on his proposal in a Truth Social post, suggesting that Palestinians could be “resettled in far safer and more beautiful communities,” and that the U.S. would work with global “development teams” to build a site.
