The Israeli Prime Minister welcomes us to build a “different gas” as the cabinet is preparing to discuss the second stage of ceasefire.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he was “engaged” by the United States proposal to take over the Gaza Strip and displace its Palestinian residents, as Washington's best diplomat was in Saudi Arabia to push the plan Opposed by Arab countriesS
In a statement on Monday, Netanyahu said he was “engaged with US President Trump's plan to create a different gas. “
The Israeli leader also promised that “neither Hamas nor the Palestinian power” would rule the enclave at the end of the 15-month war, which killed more than 48,000 Palestinians and led to an acute humanitarian crisis.
Netanyahu's remarks come a The day after he welcomed Trump's bold vision for Gaza's future during a meeting with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Jerusalem.
Human rights groups have struck a thrump of Trump administration To absorb the gas and forcibly displace the Palestinians as a violation of international law, which would be an ethnic cleansing.
The proposal is also widely given by Arab countries, but is expected to be on the agenda during Rubio's visits to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates this week.
Rubio was greeted by Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Monday in Riyadh, the last stop of the first visit to the US diplomat in the Middle East.
Saudi Arabia is headed Arabic efforts To develop a counter -production of Trump's Gaza plan, which may include a refund, led by the Persian Gulf and a Hamas side line deal.
The Saudi Foreign Ministry said it rejected any attempt to displace the Palestinians from their land.
Rubio said in a recent interview that the United States remains open to alternative proposals by Arab governments, but so far “The only plan is Trump's plan.”
In the meantime, Israel's security cabinet was expected to discuss the second phase of cessation of Gaza's fire on Monday.
The second phase – in which Hamas must release dozens of remaining captives in exchange for more Palestinian prisoners, a lasting truce and withdrawal of the Israeli forces from Gaza – has not yet been agreed.
The ultimate right -wing members of the Israeli government, including Finance Minister, has a tough, said they would leave the Netanyahu coalition if the war did not resume.
So far, 19 Israeli captives have been released as part of the first phase of the fire termination deal, which began on January 19th. A total of 33 captives are expected to be launched at stages at this stage.
Netanyahu said that “the gates of hell will be open” to Gaza if all captives are not released.
The US payer in the Middle East, Steve Vikoff, said on Sunday that the second stage of the deal “will absolutely start” and that Trump “wants to see him” to happen.
“We do not leave anyone behind us,” he said, citing other captives.
Meron Rapoport, editor of the local call of the Israeli newsletter, said that while the Netanyahu government has a little desire to move to the second stage of the fire, it is pressed on two fronts.
“Netanyahu sees in Trump's plan the fulfillment of the dream of emptying gas by Palestinians,” Rapport told Al Jazeera by Tel Aviv.
“But at the same time (he), he is under pressure from the US and by the posterities of the hostages who have not yet been released to enter the second stage.”
He added that the second stage of the deal “would mean the end of the war” and the potential release of prominent Palestinian political prisoners, such as Marvan Bargutti.
“And it's very difficult to swallow for Israel,” Rapport said.
