According to the head of the Israeli military department, the countries that criticized the Jewish state for the operation in the enclave are obliged to accept the Palestinians on their territory.

"Gazans should be given the freedom to leave and emigrate, as is practiced all over the world," said Israel Katz, quoted by The Times of Israel. "Hamas used Gazans as human shields and built an infrastructure of terror in the very heart, and now holds them hostage, extorting them. money by using humanitarian aid and not allowing them to leave Gaza," he added.

It is assumed that residents of the Gaza Strip will be able to "emigrate to any country that agrees to accept them." Among the potential destinations, Israel Katz listed Spain, Ireland, and Norway, which have made "false accusations" about Israel's actions in the enclave. The plan, which will be prepared by the IDF, should provide for departure through land crossings and "special conditions" for travel by sea and air.

After meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Donald Trump said that the Gaza Strip would come under the control of Washington, which would deal with its "economic development." The US president also called for the resettlement of Palestinians to other countries. The idea was criticized by the UN, Saudi Arabia, as well as European countries.
