Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said the government had developed plans to remove Palestinians from Gaza but was waiting for US approval on where the population would be relocated. The following day, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir said the plan would remove 250,000 Palestinians in its first year, followed by the rest of Gaza’s roughly two million residents over the next six years.

The foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Pakistan, Indonesia and Turkey condemned what they called “plans and mechanisms they proposed aimed at forcibly expelling Palestinians from their land.” They said such measures directly challenged international efforts to achieve peace, including President Donald Trump’s comprehensive plan for Gaza, which rejects forced displacement.

The article also points to a separate dispute involving Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Qatar. Netanyahu has boasted about bombing Qatar while rejecting domestic accusations that money sent to Gaza was used for anything other than aid. In an interview with i24NEWS that he later shared on social media, Netanyahu called Qatar a “hostile” state and said it did not dictate Israeli policy during Israel’s war in Gaza.
