Story so far

Following the war in Gaza, discussions about the future of the territory and its population have been ongoing. US President Donald Trump had previously floated, then retracted, the idea of Palestinians leaving Gaza. A subsequent ceasefire agreement included a provision against forced displacement. International law considers the forced displacement of civilians in occupied territory a war crime.

Latest development

Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said on Wednesday that Israel has plans ready to remove the Palestinian population from the Gaza Strip and is waiting for the United States to determine where they will be sent.
