Following global condemnation for suggesting the permanent relocation of Palestinians from Gaza, the White House has seemingly reversed course. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that President Trump envisioned a 'temporary' relocation, emphasizing the need for rebuilding in Gaza. While Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu endorsed the idea of temporary relocation for Gaza's reconstruction, the seriousness of Trump's proposal remains unclear.
The White House has appeared to backtrack on Donald Trump 's assertion that Palestinians should be permanently resettled from Gaza . On Tuesday, during a visit of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Mr Trump said: 'If we can get a beautiful area to resettle people, permanently, in nice homes where they can be happy and not be shot and not be killed and not be knifed to death like what's happening in Gaza .
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appears to have endorsed the White House's revised position and the idea of Middle East countries taking in Palestinians, at least while Gaza is rebuilt. In an interview on the Fox News Channel's Hannity show he said: 'Neighbouring states, wealthy states would do it. But the actual idea of allowing first Gazans who want to leave, to leave. I mean, what's wrong with that? 'They can leave. They can then come back.
