Katz: Israel will facilitate emigration from Gaza ‘by any means’ as soon as Trump allows

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has stated that Israel will move to facilitate the emigration of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip as soon as it receives approval from US President-elect Donald Trump. Katz claimed that approximately 80 percent of Gaza's residents wish to leave the territory, but currently, no country is willing to accept them. He emphasized that Israel would utilize every available means to achieve this objective. Concurrently, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited an IDF post within the Gaza Strip, reiterating that Israel will not withdraw from the territories it currently holds. These remarks come amid an ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza and intense international and domestic debate regarding the future political and demographic status of the enclave.
