“I welcome President Trump’s daring plan, Gaza residents ought to be allowed the liberty to depart and to migrate, as is the norm around the globe,” Israel’s Channel 12 quoted Katz as saying.
When requested who will take within the Palestinians, Katz mentioned it ought to be nations who’ve opposed Israel’s army operations in Gaza.
“Nations like Spain, Eire, Norway, and others, which have levelled accusations and false claims towards Israel over its actions in Gaza, are legally obligated to permit any Gaza resident to enter their territories,” he mentioned.
