The Israel He has identified an airport and a port as possible points for the Palestinians to leave the war -damaged Gauze stripaccording to a plan presented to the Minister of Defense Israel Katz on how to implement the controversial proposal by the US President Donald Trump.

According to the Bloomberg agency, preliminary ideas presented to KATZ in military briefing on Thursday, according to an Israeli official who is aware of the discussions. It is noted that Katz had instructed the Army to draw a roadmap for Trump’s proposal, despite the fact that there is not much clarity about whether it can receive the required support or where the Palestinians will be willing or able to move .

The proposal for relocation of more than 2 million Gaza residents to pave the way for rebuilding under the US leadership was quickly rejected by Palestinians and Middle East officials, as well as some Western governments.

Even so, Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) are in the process of determining which of the five land passages between Gaza and Israel will allow the Palestinians to be secure after passing on security checks, the official said under a statement. the term of anonymity.

They will then travel by bus to Ramon Airport, about 250 kilometers away in the southern desert of Israel, or at the port of Ashdod, an hour of driving on the Mediterranean coast, he said.

Cogat, the Israeli Ministry of Defense, who is responsible for planning, refused to comment on discussions according to the international agency.

Most Israeli politicians welcomed the idea, which was made by Trump during Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to the White House this week as a way to turn the current six -week truce with Hamas to a permanent end.

However, there is skepticism. A poll by the Israeli TV channel Channel 12 found that while 69% of Israelis support Trump’s proposal to 18%, only 36% believe it could be applied. Half of you see no chance of the plan to be implemented.

The warning of Lieutenant General Shlomi Binder, director of the Israeli Military Intelligence Service, that the Plan of Displacement involves the risk of raising violence on the West Bank, the other Palestinian territory, was treated with public reprimand.

“There will be no reality in which IDF officers will speak against US President Trump’s plan on Gaza and against the instructions of the political scale,” Katz said in a statement on Friday.

Trump’s unexpected comments took place at a crucial moment, a few days after the talks on the second phase of the truce between Israel and Hamas. Israel has argued that any solution should bring about the removal of Hamas – which has been described as a terrorist organization from the US and many other countries – as a ruling force in Gaza.

The IDF plan is based on the assumption that Egypt will remain firm in its refusal to accept Palestinians. Egypt, who, along with Jordan, has been named by Trump as possible host countries, rejects the idea of ​​reception of Gaza residents and has reported that Israel’s preparations undermine the ceasefire.

It is noted that Ramon Airport opened in 2019 to boost tourism at the Eilat Red Sea resort. It also serves as a backup in times of war for the main international gate of Israel, Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv. Israel has previously moved by flights from Ramon a small number of Palestinian victims from Gaza for overseas treatment.

Humanitarian aid and commercial cargo missions for Gaza are often unloaded to Asdod and then transported in terms of land, as the Palestinian enclave is under maritime exclusion and has no deep water ports.

The cessation of battles continues while Three more Israelis were liberated from Hamas todayin the context of the exchange of hostages with prisoners between the warring sides.

Gaza has been destroyed after 16 months of clashes that began when Hamas members passed to Israel on October 7, 2023, killing 1,200 people and kidnapping 250. In the following war, more than 47,000 Gaza residents have been killed, according to the Ministry of Health. It is governed by Hamas, who does not distinguish victims between civilians and fighters.

Huge territory of soils have been destroyed as Israel has tried to eliminate Hamas and the vast majority of its population are displaced within Gaza.

It is also not clear how many Gaza residents would be willing to leave the damaged area to follow Trump’s idea of ​​moving to “much safer and beautiful communities”. For many Palestinians, who struggled to hold their homes and lives, a movement seems unthinkable.

Prior to the start of the Israeli-Hamas war, polls showed that at least one-third of Gaza residents hoped to leave for a possible better life elsewhere. After the initiation of the conflict, no such investigations have been carried out.
