Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said today that he will “respect” the plan of US President Donald Trump, which provides for the evacuation of the damaged Gaza Strip.

Saudi Arabia will host a meeting on Friday, with the participation of many Arab countries, to present a joint response to this plan, which has sparked a salvo internationally.

During his visit to Israel on Sunday, US diplomat leader Marco Rubio, who is going to meet today with Prince Saudi Arabia’s successor Mohammed bin Salman, defended Trump’s plan.

Netanyahu said today that Trump’s plan would “respect” that the United States would control the Palestinian enclave and 2.4 million its inhabitants will be expelled to Egypt and Jordan.

“As I pledged that the day after the war in Gaza there would be no longer Hamas, nor Palestinian authority, I have to respect the plan“Trump” for the creation of another gauze, “he said.

Palestinians and all Arab countries have rejected the plan.

The Israeli Security Council is expected to discuss today the second phase of the ceasefire agreement with Hamas, which is projected to release all hostages held in Gaza and finally end the war. Israel also announced that it is sending negotiators to Cairo to discuss the continuation of the first phase of the agreement, which ends on March 1st.

In Jerusalem, dozens of relatives of hostages, held for 500 days, demonstrated earlier outside parliament, holding photos of their own people. “My eyes have been burned by the tears I have been pouring for 500 days,” said Einav Jangauker, whose son, Matan, was abducted by Kibbutch Nir Oz on October 7, 2023. The woman asked the Israeli MPs to ” They do everything ”so that all hostages can come back.
