- US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said there was no plan to forcibly displace Palestinians from Gaza.

There is no plan to forcibly displace Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said during a Saturday visit to the occupied West Bank.
The statement followed a proposal by Itamar Ben Gvir, Israelโs far-right national security minister. Ben Gvir said 250,000 Palestinians should leave Gaza within a year, followed by practically the entire Palestinian population over the next six years.
Huckabeeโs remarks directly rejected the existence of such a forced-displacement plan, while Ben Gvirโs proposal had brought the issue into public view.
