Israel has identified an airport and seaport as potential points for Palestinians to leave war-ravaged Gaza, according to a draft plan presented to Defense Minister Israel Katz on how to implement US President Donald Trump’s contentious proposal.
Preliminary ideas were put to Katz at a military briefing on Thursday, according to an Israeli official familiar with the discussions. He’d ordered the military to put together a road map for Trump’s proposal, despite little clarity over whether it can get the required support, or where Palestinians would be willing or able to move.
