Israeli Foreign Minister Says No Plans to Deport Palestinians From Gaza
Saar said Israel would not force Palestinians to leave, after ministers floated removal proposals and Ben-Gvir outlined a seven-year emigration plan.
- On Wednesday, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar stated, "We are not planning to expel or to deport anyone from the Gaza Strip," during a press conference in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

- Defence Minister Israel Katz previously claimed there is "no real solution for Gaza in the end without this migration." Saar noted authorities will not enforce removal against anyone's will.
- U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee has said that Israel has no plans to force Palestinians to leave, aligning with the Foreign Minister's recent assurances.
- These policy discussions occur as Israel prepares for a general election scheduled for October 27, amidst ongoing domestic debate regarding the future of the coastal territory.
