Katz plans to settlement: Palestinians from Gaza with a new challenge!

Israel's Defense Minister Israel Katz presented a controversial plan to the voluntary resettlement of the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip. Katz asked the army to develop a comprehensive plan that enables this process and emphasized that people in Gaza should have the right to travel out, as is common in many other parts of the world. The initiative comes in the context of statements by US President Donald Trump, who suggested that Palestinians should be relocated to other Arab countries. Katz pointed out that the Hamas in the Gaza Strip keep the Palestinians as hostages and thereby prevented their chance to leave, reported kathpress.at .

The reactions to Katz 'plan are mixed: right -wing extremist politicians in Israel welcome him as a realistic option to ensure peace and security for Israel. At the same time, many governments say that such resettlement plans could violate international law. The United Nations warned of a potential "ethnic cleaning". In a further step, Katz said that countries such as Spain, Ireland and Norway should be ready to take the Palestinians. Canada has already signaled to accept Palestinian refugees, such as Tagesschau.de reported.

Us-official position have also taken from the international reactions. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio described Trump's suggestions as a "very generous offer" and assured that the US government only wanted to help to make the Gaza Strip habitable again. However, this is viewed skeptically, since many Palestinian guides and Arab states reacted. The White House was only cautious about the drastic resettlement plans and pointed out that the United States was not willing to pay for the reconstruction of the area. Katz ’Initiative raises numerous questions regarding the legal situation and moral responsibility, while international pressure on Israel is growing.
