The American president's plan has been widely condemned internationally. The plan involves the US taking over Gaza and the region being rebuilt under American administration. Smotrich points out that it would require enormous logistical commitments.

It's about identifying key countries, understanding their interests – both with the US and with us – and promoting cooperation, says the minister in parliament.

Experts and critics have emphasized that if Gazans are forced to leave for neighboring countries, it would be a violation of international law.

Recently, several Arab countries presented an alternative that both Muslim and several European countries have backed. The goal of the proposal is to rebuild Gaza without displacing its inhabitants.

In an interview with the Israeli TV channel Channel 12 last month, Smotrich stated that Israel and the US are actively discussing the implementation of Trump's plan, reports The Times of Israel.

The emigration process from Gaza will begin in the coming weeks, he said then.
