US President Donald Trump spoke on Wednesday about the voluntary emigration plan for Gaza residents, saying that the people of the Strip will not be deported.

He added: No one wants to expel Palestinians from Gaza.

Trump made these remarks at the start of a White House meeting with Irish Prime Minister Meahn Martin, in response to a question. This statement contradicts his plan, presented just a month ago, under which "we will destroy the Strip, and 1.8 million Palestinians will be forced to leave."

"We call for a ceasefire in Gaza," the Irish Prime Minister said at the start of the meeting. "We want peace. We want the release of the hostages. All hostages must be released, and aid must be allowed into Gaza."

Israel has already begun preparations to implement the Trump plan to allow voluntary passage of Palestinians from Gaza to a third country via the Ashdod port and Ramon Airport—preparing for the departure of thousands of Palestinians daily by air and sea.

At the beginning of the week, the cabinet was supposed to discuss Katz's proposal to expand the possibility of voluntary transfer for Palestinians, but in the end, the cabinet did not discuss the issue, according to Yedioth Ahronoth.
