US ambassador to Israel says there is no plan to force Palestinians out of Gaza

Mike Huckabee said Palestinians should not be forced out, after Israeli ministers proposed removing 250,000 people in the first year.

  • On Saturday, US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee stated there is no Israeli plan to force Palestinians out of Gaza, directly contradicting recent suggestions by two Israeli ministers.
  • Defence Minister Israel Katz and Far-right security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir proposed migration from Gaza this week, with Ben-Gvir outlining a seven-year plan for what he termed "voluntary emigration."
  • Huckabee visited Turmus Aiya, a West Bank town with roughly 3,000 residents, where about 80% are Palestinian Americans seeking help against constant attacks from violent settler extremists.
  • Mayor Nawwaf Zaghoul told reporters residents would ask the ambassador to help secure their safety, citing constant harassment by extremists that prevents locals from protecting their homes.
  • Although Huckabee, a Baptist minister, supports Israeli settlements, he called for prosecuting violent extremists, noting their actions represent a minority of the community numbering around 750,000.
