At a December 2025 meeting at Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump publicly aligned with Benjamin Netanyahu in endorsing a plan that would uproot the civilian population of the Gaza Strip. Reporting on related policy discussions cites proposals for voluntary relocation of Gaza’s population as part of postwar planning. Language matters.
