During a White House meeting, Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu discussed the idea of relocating Palestinians from Gaza. This plan, which has drawn criticism for its potential to involve forced displacement, was a major point of discussion during a dinner at the White House. The meeting occurred while indirect talks between Israel and Hamas, brokered by the US, continued in Qatar, attempting to achieve a 60-day ceasefire to halt the ongoing war. Netanyahu emphasized the collaboration with the US in finding countries willing to provide Palestinians with a better future, and Trump supported this idea, claiming cooperation from surrounding nations. The Israeli approach has been described as ‘voluntary migration’, but this has been widely condemned. Despite these discussions, there is no defined plan for the relocation, and it has been suggested that such an approach could hinder post-war agreements. In Qatar, discussions are focused on a phased release of captives, Israeli withdrawals, and larger discussions to end the war. Netanyahu, however, has rejected the idea of a Palestinian state and has insisted on retaining security control over Gaza.
