Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that Palestinians should be given the choice to leave Gaza.
Speaking to Jewish American organisations gathered in Jerusalem, Netanyahu again praised US President Donald Trump's plan to forcibly displace Palestinians from Gaza.
"Give them a choice. Not forcible eviction. Not ethnic cleansing," he said.
Human rights groups warned that Trump's plan to forcibly remove Palestinians from Gaza and transform the territory into a luxury development project indicates an intent to escalate ethnic cleansing in Gaza.
