Summary

US Ambassador Mike Huckabee stated that there is no plan by Israelis or Americans to forcibly remove Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, contradicting proposals made by two Israeli ministers. These proposals include allowing people to "leave voluntarily" and even relocating the entire population of Gaza over a period of seven years. Defense Minister Israel Katz suggested on September 2 that forced migration may be necessary for solving the Gaza issue, while Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir proposed a plan to encourage voluntary emigration from the coastal territory. Huckabee's comments were made in a Palestinian town in the West Bank.
