Smotrich: There are logistical complications in implementing Trump's plan on Gaza

Israel's far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said on Sunday that there are logistical complications in implementing US President Donald Trump's plan for Gaza.


Smotrich explained: "If we remove 5,000 people a day from Gaza, it will take a year to implement the Trump plan."


Last February, US President Donald Trump announced his plan for Gaza, which includes the US taking over the Strip and redeveloping it into the “Riviera of the Middle East.”


The plan includes removing nearly 50 million tons of rubble and unexploded ordnance, and resettling about two million Palestinians elsewhere, without allowing them to return to Gaza.


This plan was widely criticized by the United Nations, the European Union, and Arab and Islamic countries, as it was considered a violation of international law and a contribution to the forced displacement of Palestinians.


In contrast, an Arab summit, supported by the European Union, proposed investing 50 billion euros to rebuild Gaza without displacing the population, but the United States rejected this initiative and considered it inappropriate.
