Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has firmly rejected allowing the Palestinian Authority to take control of the Gaza Strip, reiterating his commitment to U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan for the future of the region.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced the establishment of a special agency for the “voluntary departure” of Gazans, with the Israeli occupation pledging to adhere to the American proposal that involves relocating Palestinians to neighboring countries such as Egypt and Jordan, which has sparked widespread international outrage.
