Israel Seeks Trump's Backing for Plan to Expel Gazans, Katz Says

Israel's defence minister Israel Katz said Israel is seeking Donald Trump's approval for a plan to forcibly resettle Palestinians out of Gaza, claiming US backing could pressure neighbouring states like Egypt into accepting refugees. Trump has "frozen" rather than cancelled the idea, while Netanyahu insists Israeli forces will hold the yellow line inside Gaza until Hamas is disarmed. Such a forced population transfer would mark a profound and internationally condemned shift in the land and people at the centre of biblical prophecy concerning Israel's covenant territory and its unresolved conflict with surrounding nations.
