Netanyahu says Trump's forced displacement plan is condition for ending war on Gaza

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday that the implementation of US President Donald Trump's plan from earlier this year for Palestinians to be forcibly displaced from Gaza is a condition for Israel ending the war.  

The remarks are the first time Netanyahu has publicly linked ending Israel's war on Gaza to the forcible displacement of Palestinians from Gaza.

Netanyahu said Israel “is ready to end the war, under clear conditions that will ensure the safety of Israel – all the hostages come home, Hamas lays down its arms, steps down from power, its leadership is exiled from the Strip… Gaza is totally disarmed, and we carry out the Trump plan. A plan that is so correct and so revolutionary.”
