Relocation demand puts Gaza ceasefire in limbo

The renewed suggestion to relocate Palestinians out of devastated Gaza by the Israeli prime minister during his meeting with the US President Donald Trump in Washington in defiance of resistance and criticism may again shroud the prospects of a ceasefire in Gaza, experts say.

Speaking to reporters at the White House during his dinner with Trump on Monday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said: "We're working with the United States very closely about finding countries that will seek to realize what they always say — that they wanted to give the Palestinians a better future."

"If people want to stay, they can stay, but if they want to leave, they should be able to leave," he said.
