The US State Department has publicly rejected calls from Israeli ministers Israel Katz and Itamar Ben-Gvir to expel Palestinians from Gaza, reiterating that President Donald Trump’s 20-point plan forbids forced displacement. Despite Israel and Hamas signing a ceasefire framework last year, Israel continues to bombard Gaza and demands full demilitarization before withdrawing or allowing reconstruction. Israeli officials insist forced "emigration" is the only solution, further stalling peace negotiations despite US efforts to enforce a voluntary, peaceful resolution.
