President Trump’s proposal to transfer millions of people out of Gaza was hailed by the Israeli right and condemned by Palestinians. Some experts say it may be a negotiating tactic.

Donald Trump’s call for Palestinians in the Gaza Strip to be expelled from the enclave has been received rapturously by right-wing Israelis – and drawn support and interest from the left as well. On Tuesday, the US president said Palestinians had no alternative but to leave war-torn Gaza and go somewhere “good, fresh, beautiful”.

TEL AVIV : When President Trump proposed to empty Gaza of close to two million Palestinians, he revived an idea that has long been taboo in mainstream Israeli politics. But this week, no Jewish leader of a political party in Israel condemned the comments. Some even said they supported such a move.
