There will be no real solution to the Gaza problem without removing the Palestinians from this area. Israel is still working continuously on this front. He said that US President Donald Trump has only stopped that plan. Human rights activists consider this plan as ethnic cleansing (action of removing or eliminating people of a particular race or community).

According to Al Jazeera report, Katz openly discussed the Gaza problem at a thought-provoking conference of Israeli news website Y Net on Wednesday. Katz said, “The problem will be solved if the Palestinians withdraw from Gaza.” He said that Trump had supported this idea of Israel at the beginning of his first term. Trump even once said that once the Palestinians are removed, America will occupy the area and become the owner of that land.

Katz said that Israel is ready to capture Gaza by all means, but Egypt is refusing to accept Palestinian refugees. He said that other countries accepting displaced Palestinians need American support. He emphasized that Washington has not completely abandoned the proposal.

He said, “At the moment, Trump has not canceled it. He has postponed it. Katz said that this is being discussed with him continuously. Katz said that this will be good for everyone. America will be needed in this campaign. It is noteworthy that in the last three years, America has given military aid to Israel about 25 billion dollars. It has defended Israel on international forums. This also includes imposing sanctions on the officials of the International Criminal Court investigating the atrocities in Gaza. Is included.
